Conductor

Join us for an extraordinary evening of music as Iván Fischer and Zoltán Fejérvári grace the stage with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks at the Munich Residence, Herkulessaal. This remarkable concert series will take place on Thursday, February 29, 2024, and Friday, March 1, 2024, both performances starting at 8:00 pm, with an introduction at 6:45 pm.

The program promises an enchanting mix of French and Hungarian compositions, showcasing the talents of conductor Iván Fischer and pianist Zoltán Fejérvári. The evening will feature Ernst von Dohnányi's "Symphonische Minuten, op. 36" and "Variations on a Children’s Song for Piano and Orchestra," alongside Claude Debussy's "Printemps, Symphonic Suite," Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie No. 1" and "Gnossienne No. 3" in orchestral versions by Claude Debussy and Francis Poulenc respectively, and Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2."

Iván Fischer, known for his innovative programming and universal musical approach, has been a highly esteemed guest conductor for the BRSO for many years. This concert series will highlight his dedication to both French repertoire and the works of his Hungarian compatriot, Ernst von Dohnányi, offering an evening full of wit, versatility, and virtuosity.

Unfortunately, due to a shoulder injury, Carsten Duffin will not be able to participate in these concerts. However, we are delighted to welcome Zoltán Fejérvári, an internationally acclaimed pianist known for his exceptional performances and recordings, as he takes on the highly virtuosic piano part of Dohnányi's variations.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the blend of French elegance and Hungarian brilliance under the baton of Iván Fischer and the exquisite piano of Zoltán Fejérvári. Tickets are available online via the BRticket-Webshop. Join us at the Munich Residence, Herkulessaal, for an unforgettable musical journey.

Sir András Schiff, this season’s Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, is the soloist in Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3, imbued with the spirit of Hungarian folk song. Iván Fischer leads the Orchestra in Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, Jupiter, his final and grandest. The program opens with Symphonic Minutes by Ernst von Dohnányi, a friend and compatriot of Bartók whose work was also influenced by Hungarian folk music.

Teatro Olimpico

Although Mozart didn’t dictate his Requiem to Salieri from his deathbed as depicted so dramatically in the film Amadeus, the younger composer was indeed gravely ill and did not live to finish this beloved masterpiece. But what does remain is such glorious music that we can’t do without it. Our Hungarian guests and their marvelous music director take their leave sharing one of the greatest of all Requiem settings.
