Dennis Russell Davies & Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

It is now a tradition for members of the Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra to come on stage under the baton of the most famous Hungarian and foreign conductors. Grammy award-winner Dennis Russell Davies, an enormously innovative and original conductor of our day, returns to the Liszt Academy with a programme of works by Brahms and Bernstein. ▪ The Piano Concerto in D minor by Brahms places considerable intellectual and physical demands on the soloist, and Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2 for piano and orchestra requires no less of the performers either. It takes its name The Age of Anxiety from a poem by Pulitzer Prize-winning artist W. H. Auden. ▪ At the April concert in the Masters of the Orchestra series, in addition to Dennis Russell Davies and instrumental students of the Liszt Academy, the audience can enjoy two fine soloists: József Balog, one of the most versatile pianists of Hungarian music, and Marcell Vajda, looked on as an enormously promising young talent.
