profile & recordings >>

'As orchestras and conductors have been demonstrating for more than a century, you don't have to be Bohemian to play Dvorák. All you need is profound musicality, a deep love of life, and an overwhelming urge to communicate. These are all qualities that Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra demonstrate in full in this 2000 Channel Classics recording of the composer's Eighth and Ninth symphonies. In these performances, one hears not only edge-of-the-chair excitement from the Hungarian musicians, one hears joy, happiness, and good old-fashioned fun. Listen to the rollicking horn trills in the Eighth's Finale, the thundering timpani in the Ninth's Scherzo; the interplay between winds, strings, and brass in the coda of the Eighth's Scherzo; the lush string tone in the Ninth's Largo; the headlong rush of the Eighth's opening Allegro con brio; or the awesome power of the Ninth's closing Allegro con fuoco.' Allmusic.com

‘The partnership between Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra has proved to be one of the greatest success stories in the past 25 years of classical music.' Prestoclassical.co.uk

‘There's a lot to admire in this pair of performances. Iván Fischer has a strong, lively interpretive personality and he manages the difficult task of leaving his mark on both of these oft-recorded works. The surprisingly quick, intensely dramatic introduction to the New World's first movement sets the stage for an urgent performance that reveals an extreme sensitivity to dynamics.' Classicstoday.com
