MÁV Symphony Orchestra

The heart-breaking, unfinished Mozart requiem has been performed in Hungary under the baton of Kobayashi many times, but the unfolding drama of the piece is still touching. Today, as the distress caused by the pandemic is starting to ease, it is especially relevant to perform this piece in memory of all the people we have lost. We will finally hear the choir again, members of which were condemned to silence due to the pandemic. Three of the soloists are among the best in Hungary, while the soprano soloist, Zarina Altynbayeva, is Kazakh. She is principal soloist of the opera house in the capital of her homeland, Almaty. She was a guest singer in Japan, in numerous European countries, including the Mariinsky Theatre of Saint Petersburg. She enjoys singing lieder and Baroque music as well. Her first solo album consists of Baroque arias. She is the founder of a festival in her home country to discover more young talents.
