Proms: Budapest Festival Orchestra
Royal Albert Hall, SW7

The Budapest Festival Orchestra has one of the most distinctive sounds of any orchestra in the world.

What makes it so special is the vibrancy of colour in all departments as well as the tremendous energy and commitment with which they play.

Under their Principal Conductor Ivan Fischer such qualities will be to the fore in this programme culminating in Stravinsky's white-knuckle Rite of Spring.

The Third Piano Concerto of Bartok (with Garrick Ohlsson the soloist) is the main work in the first half, with the short Symphonic Minutes of his compatriot Erno Dohnanyi making up the programme.
