Dear viewers, We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world's most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – in the safety of their own homes. We believe that there are no limits to the "Müpa Budapest experience", which is why we decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest's virtual concert hall by providing access to an unforgettable performance from past years, which we'll transmit on our website, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. What is more, as a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) and in the spirit of international solidarity, we will also be streaming concerts on our Facebook page from different prestigious concert halls around Europe, from Lisbon and Hamburg to London – trusting that this will make evenings at home more pleasant. Take good care, and let's continue to stick together!

Amadinda and Muzsikás 27 May 2020, Wednesday, 7.30 pm
Amadinda Percussion Group: Zoltán Rácz, Zoltán Váczi, Aurél Holló, Károly Bojtos • Muzsikás: Mihály Sipos – violin, zither, voice • László Porteleki – violin, cithern, tambura, voice • Péter Éri – viola, tambura, mandolin, recorders, voice • Dániel Hamar – double bass, gardon, drum, voice The joint concert of two long-standing ensembles promises to be a unique encounter: Amadinda, celebrating its 30th anniversary in season 2014/2015, plays with another legend, Muzsikás, which was formed over 40 years ago. One key ambition of the percussion quartet is to research and present traditional percussive cultures around the world, while Muzsikás intends to maintain the traditions of Hungarian folk music. The encounter of different musical universes and playing styles holds out the promise of an unusual and exciting production, with the groups enriching each other's sound with interesting colours. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 16 April 2015.

At this concert, the orchestra is joined by the Kossuth Prize-winning Kristóf Baráti, the violinist whose playing was described by a critic of the prestigious British classical music magazine Gramophone as equal in poise to Heifetz, but with greater subtlety in tone, colour and emotional inflection.

Featuring: Annette Dasch – soprano • Eric Stoklossa – tenor Daniel Schmutzhard – baritone • Miklós Sebestyén – bass Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra • Purcell Choir • Conductor: Ádám Fischer Haydn: The Creation, Hob. XXI:2 For the New Year’s performance of The Creation, Ádám Fischer – to whom Haydn's style is like a mother tongue – returned to the podium of Müpa Budapest in 2015 with his fantastic ensemble the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra, and accompanied by internationally renowned soloists and the superb Purcell Choir, to perform this masterpiece portraying the triangle of God, nature and mankind in music. The music vividly evokes chaos and the stages of the world's creation, with water, darkness and light, insects, birds and rivers proclaiming the boundless richness of life. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 1 January 2015.
A clear voice sings for itself.
