Intérprete: Concerto Budapest

Masterful accounts of two great symphonies by Concerto Budapest in Dublin and fascinating Bartok from Pierre-Laurent Aimard. 

Budapest rolled out the red carpet for its legendary composer György Kurtág, who, amidst a celebratory week, was the honoree at his splendid 90th birthday concert. 

Ahead of their tour of the UK and Ireland, Concerto Budapest’s conductor András Keller and pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard talk about the profound effects of language in the music of Beethoven and Bartók.

We speak to András Keller about Concerto Budapest's first UK tour, Beethoven's Fifth and his mentors.

We explored the cultural significance and enduring popularity of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra and we asked András Keller, music director of Concerto Budapest, about it.
