Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

Ernő Kállai is well-known for the Hungarian audience: he was playing as a soloist with the Budapest Strings, the Concerto Budapest, the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra Debrecen, the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra, the MÁV Symphony Orchestra and the Danubia Orchestra Óbuda. It is not the first time when he meets with the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, in this concert he will play the evergreen Tchaikovsky violin concerto. The concerto programme, dedicated to Russian Romanticism, also includes Glinka works and a Tchaikovsky symphony. According to Stravinsky, the particular Russian nature of Tchaikovsky’s music “does not appear specifically Russian to everybody… yet it is quite as Russian as Pushkin’s poem or Glinka’s song.”
