Faust Symphony, S. 108
The members of any orchestra feel most confident playing under the batons of conductors who know from personal experience the ins and outs of performing instrumental music. And this is exactly the extra bit of expertise possessed by the German horn player-turned-conductor Sebastian Weigle, who also earned the respect of the audience at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall when he took on Rienzi in 2017 and Ein deutsches Requiem in 2020 at the venue. Now he returns to rejoin his collaborator for those memorable concerts, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra. On this evening, Müpa Budapest’s resident ensemble will first accompany Dezső Ránki in performing Brahms’s grand B-flat major piano concerto. It will then play Liszt’s Faust Symphony, which is rich with the ideas of Goethe, together with the Hungarian National Male Choir. The soloist of the evening is the Graz-born heldentenor, Nikolai Schukoff, who in 2009 sang the title role of Parsifal at the Budapest Wagner Days festival, and in 2024 partnered Diana Damrau here at Müpa Budapest.
