The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

Haydn: Symphony No. 59 in A major, Hob. I:59 (ʻFeuerʼ)

Haydn: Symphony No. 99 in E-flat major, Hob. I:99

Ilya Gringolts (violin)
Budapest Festival Orchestra
Conductor: Gábor Takács-Nagy

Can one ever be bored of the music of Haydn and Mozart flooded by warmth, the energetic conducting of Gábor Takács-Nagy or the sound of Ilya Gringolts’ Stradivari? Impossible. Haydn’s ‘Fire’ Symphony virtually ignites in order to give way to the violin played frequently as prima donna in the Mozart violin concerto. After the intermission, Budapest Festival Orchestra are beefed up with timpani and a hey wind section, this being necessary to perform Haydn’s Symphony No. 99.
