Allegro & trémolos: Iván Fischer & Budapest Festival Orchestra

Calling all Romantics! You are in for a treat as Nicolas Altstaedt showcases Camille Saint-Saëns’ trademark passion and charm in Cello Concerto N˚ 1. And the lyricism doesn’t stop there. The beautiful opening melody of Anton Bruckner’s Symphony N˚ 7 came to him in a dream and will sweep you off your feet as it builds into a magnificent climax over trembling tremolos. Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra perform this epic symphonic soundscape against a backdrop of human connection, heroism and faith.
