The least important are not forbidden to dream of great things, and even modestly to aim at them, according to the measure of their abilities.

Haydn: Symphony No. 99 in E-flat major, Hob. I:99

Ilya Gringolts (violin)
Budapest Festival Orchestra
Conductor: Gábor Takács-Nagy

Can one ever be bored of the music of Haydn and Mozart flooded by warmth, the energetic conducting of Gábor Takács-Nagy or the sound of Ilya Gringolts’ Stradivari? Impossible. Haydn’s ‘Fire’ Symphony virtually ignites in order to give way to the violin played frequently as prima donna in the Mozart violin concerto. After the intermission, Budapest Festival Orchestra are beefed up with timpani and a hey wind section, this being necessary to perform Haydn’s Symphony No. 99.
