Kurtág is turning 100! Lost for words how much this means. My tiny contribution will be to perform his Double Concerto with pianist Dénes Várjon in my favourite Hungarian concert hall.
In this celebratory concert on what would have been Alfred Brendel’s 95th birthday, musician friends from several generations gather to honour his legacy.
Sir Simon Rattle conducts a unique orchestra of musicians close to Brendel, and the programme features works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.

Felix spent his “working vacations” in Soden with his family in 1844 and 1845. This combination of work and vacation, which lasted four months each time, resulted in lively correspondence.
These letters, paired with music by the composer and music from our favorite vacation destinations, create a small salon where tapas are also served.
