Invitation: Bach Marathon, Palace Of Arts Budapest, 2 February
- 30 Jan 2014 8:00 AM
The first marathon at the Palace of Arts in 2008 showcased the works of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The series of 11 concerts on a single day covered a cross-section of the great master's ouevre and exceeded all expectations with its unique theme and atmosphere. In the years that followed, the organisers put together marathon programmes of the work of Dvořák, Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart and Bartók.
The Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Palace of Arts created a new tradition with this concert format hitherto unknown in Hungary. Ever since, music-lovers have considered this event to be a red-letter day on the concert calendar, which once again promises to fully satisfy all in attendance with every popular piece from their favourite composer. For the 2014 marathon, Iván Fischer has chosen one of the greatest geniuses in the history of music, Johann Sebastian Bach.
