Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

Piano concertos and overtures are centre stage in the third, concluding Beethoven series by Tamás Vásáry. This concert features two pioneering concertos (with solo by Fülöp Ránki) written in his youth. And that the transitional nature is barely noticeable in these works is partly due to the fact that, contrary to general belief, Beethoven did not attempt to overstep his predecessors, and he did not want to question, but instead integrate their achievements. But can the tradition be dissolved in such a characteristic and subjective musical language as Beethoven’s, or is the personality itself dissolved in the tradition? His later works provide the answer to this question.
