Work: Symphony no. 7 in A major, Op.92

The evening starts with life-affirming Beethoven – and then, the Budapest Festival Orchestra demonstrate just how good native Hungarians can be in Bartók’s chiller. 

Tradition reborn with thrilling clarity: Jakub Hrůša’s Bambergers light up Seoul: Wagner’s shimmering overture, Bomsori Kim’s impassioned Bruch, and a lucid yet explosive Beethoven Seventh. 

Continuing with their ‘Made in Manchester’ series of Mozart concertos in Stoller Hall, Manchester Camerata turn to the horn concertos with soloist Martin Owen.
