Is it possible to compile a programme only from concertos without turning it into a virtuoso soloist gala? This concert attempts to do just that. The oldest and best-known piece opens the concert: Mozart's Sinfonia concertante, which is simultaneously a symphony and a double concerto. In other words, the orchestra – similarly to a third soloist – is present with more weight in its dialogue with the soloists. There is another double concerto at the place of the simple concerto, penned by Benjamin Britten, representing a more modern timbre than Bruch. Finally we can enjoy the German Romantic, Max Bruch's emotional and spectacular double concerto.

I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE THE PROGRAMME OF THE CONCERT, BECAUSE IT IS, BY NO MEANS, USUAL WITH TODAY’S CONCERTS. IT IS ALREADY RARE TO HEAR EVEN ONE OF THE THREE PIECES DURING A PERFORMANCE, WHICH IN PARTICULAR APPLIES TO BRITTEN’S COMPOSITION. I FIND IT AN INGENIOUS IDEA TO PRESENT ALL THREE PIECES THE VERY SAME NIGHT. I LOVE THEMATIC CONCERTS; THUS THIS PROGRAMME “HIT” ME AS THE MIDDLE OF A DARTSBOARD. (GÁBOR KÁLI, CONDUCTOR / LIBRARIUS)
