A century and a half ago in Saint Petersburg, a civil servant lived a double life for many years: by day he busied himself with official documents and sombre files, but as soon as he put down his pen and sleeve protector he would give himself over to composing operas and songs, or meeting with his fellow musicians in someone's home to plan the renewal of Russian music.

Piotr Anderszewski, one of the most extraordinary personalities among living pianists today, has links to Hungary that go beyond mere family connections. Now in his early forties, the Polish-Hungarian musician has been a regular fixture on concert stages here since the turn of the millennium; he and the Hungarian public share a mutual affection.

The worlds of gods and men are separated by a vast chasm. This was an idea that fascinated Goethe, Wagner and Hölderlin. The latter was particularly pessimistic about man’s role: to him, fate was nothing more than ceaseless drifting, a blind struggle. Brahms encountered Hölderlin’s poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion’s Song of Fate) in his mid thirties, immediately recognising the potential ...

“The world is what it is, it will not be better or more attractive, it will not adjust itself to our beautiful dreams"-and this is painful." This could be a somewhat malicious summary of the world-weariness of early Romanticism, whose greatest bard was Lord Byron, a man of adventure. One of his most inspiring characters is Manfred, who is weighed down by a guilt whose origins are lost in the ...

Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok: Temptations, National Concert Hall Budapest, 16 March

- community & culture
The central concept of this last performance in a joint series of the Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok and the Palace of Arts is the human desire to possess the unattainable. The unattainable as a devilish temptation is at the same time one of the prerequisites for knowledge and growth.

Rossini completed his Petite messe solennelle in 1864, four years before his death. Its title is already problematic, given that ceremonial masses in music history all tend to be large-scale works. At the age of 72, the composer regarded as one of the greatest masters of his time, who had devoted several decades only to cooking and socialising, christened this work “the last of my sins of old ...
