Iván Fischer & Zoltán Fejérvári
With his unusual programming and universal musical approach, Iván Fischer has been one of the BRSO’s highly esteemed guest conductors for many years. This concert covers a particularly broad range: French repertoire with Satie’s statuesque simplicity, a little-known early work by Debussy and the iridescent imaginary Arcadia of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé form a focal point. Iván Fischer dedicates the first part of the programme to his Hungarian compatriot Ernst von Dohnányi – with two entertaining pieces full of wit and versatility. The highly virtuosic piano part of the variations on a children’s song is also played by a Hungarian: the internationally successful Zoltán Fejérvári, who has received great praise for his Janáček and Schumann recordings, among others.
