RICH MELODIES. SOPHISTICATION.

Rachmaninoff’s ‘Piano Concerto No. 2’, premiered in 1901, is one of the Russian composer’s most popular works. The piece was premiered in Budapest not much later in 1908: the work was played with a solo by a Russian guest artist. “The piece is very interesting, rich in melodies; its structure is witty and purposeful. Its orchestral language is clear, and some of its rich melodies seem to recall Tchaikovsky’s overwhelming musical themes,” a contemporary report on the event describes. Two years later, in March 1910, the audience of Budapest eagerly awaited the performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, this time to be performed by the composer himself. Rachmaninoff eventually cancelled the concert, referring to an illness. This concert by the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will feature Balázs Fülei and conductor János Kovács.

Our offer


A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House.

While the Fountain of Tears bubbles before him, Giray, khan of the Tatars, is lost in brooding. Just as the flow from the marble fount cannot be exhausted, his own sorrow will never diminish, either. The story of the Fountain of Bakhchisarai is set in motion by a romance recounting the reason for the khan's gloom.

Please note that the auditorium is closed for visits during rehearsals. Guided tours are not available during performances.
