The marathon chamber concert leg of the Beethoven Day in Budapest's Liszt Academy featured artists such as Miklós Perényi, Dénes Várjon and the Hungarian Quartet.
Markus Stenz conducted a lean and crisp performance of Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony which remained unsentimental and lively throughout, prefaced by a nostalgically sunny Dvořák Cello Concerto with soloist Miklós Perényi.Stenz’s plan for the Beethoven was perhaps clear from the seating plan, from just six desks of first violins to two desks of double basses.
