Dohnányi, Bartók, Beethoven - Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

 

It was in 1933 that Ernst von Dohnányi composed his five-movement orchestral series of character pieces Symphonic Minutes, the elegance, richness of colour and wit of which made it one of the most popular hits of his oeuvre. Listening to the interpretation by the exceptionally evocative pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet in the middle number of György Vashegyi and the HNPO's programme, we can observe how Bartók's late style lends Classical Mozartian clarity to his Third Piano Concerto, while Beethoven's "Eroica” symphony does just the opposite in showing how the great musical revolutionary surpasses the limits of classical music.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.


The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
