“For Thursday's concert with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, which Fischer founded with pianist Zoltán Kocsis, Liszt was on the menu. Pianist Marc-André Hamelin played the Piano Concerto No. 1, a flashy piece Liszt created as a vehicle for his own virtuosity. Liszt premiered the concerto in Weimar in 1855 in a concert conducted by Hector Berlioz that also featured the conductor's Symphonie Fantastique. This concerto is beloved for its dazzling octaves, delicate filigree and the prominent ping of the triangle in the third movement.

Fischer opened the program with the Overture to Der Freischütz. The opera, by Carl Maria von Weber, with its magic bullets and supernatural elements, is an early example of German Romantic opera.

On the political end, Fischer has been critical of Hungary's right-wing parties and outspoken on the current immigration situation. Last fall, before conducting Mahler's Seventh Symphony in Berlin, Fischer took the microphone, welcomed his guests from Syria and then launched into a short but impassioned speech...”

Fischer’s latest with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, “Brahms. Symphony No.4″, is available on Channel Classics: http://amzn.to/24mxKIX

The Washington Post wrote that pianist Marc-André Hamelin's “technical facility is breathtaking: The piano quivers and trembles under his thunderous assault, but his sensitivity is also superb.” These qualities are on display when Hamelin performs a delicate Mozart sonata and some of the most virtuosic works in the keyboard repertoire, including Ravel’s hallucinogenic Gaspard de la nuit and Liszt’s epic Piano Sonata in B Minor.

The NEXT Top 100 (or so) Songs I Absolutely Must Have With Me on 1/48/50 (cont...)

#139) "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)" by The Doors - It was only about about two hours ago that I learned, to my utter shock, that this song is a cover version. It has its origins in a poem written in 1927, which was then set to music, and used in - of all things - a German opera ...
