Budapest Festival Orchestra - Kissinger Sommer Opening Concert (2026)
It was during one of the rare happy periods of his life that Schumann composed his third symphony and a palpable joy can be heard in this masterpiece. In contrast Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 is, like many of the composer's minor-key pieces, imbued with a profound melancholy. Accomplished pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja is soloist with the Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by its founder Iván Fischer. Programme: Sergei Prokofiev Overture on Hebrew Themes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor KV 491 Robert Schumann Symphony No. 3 in E flat major "Rhenish"
Director: Myriam Hoyer
