When conductor Iván Fischer founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra more than 30 years ago, he made a personal dream become true. Core of the philosophy of the orchestra is the total absence of daily routine. Rather, it is about taking the risk, and freedom to do things differently. As a result, every concert is a joyful discovery of uncharted territory, a journey to new horizons in music. It feels unexpected and surprising as if it was played for the very first time.
The Budapest Festival Orchestra is driven by an openness towards the new and the unknown, by curiosity and attention to details. It is the innovative approach to music, the musician’s dedication and their permanent strive for excellence that made Budapest Festival Orchestra the youngest of the top 10 ranked ensembles in the world.
Here is the Budapest Festival Orchestra in music from this recording:
