DEAR VIEWERS, We believe that there are no limits to the Müpa Budapest experience. 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 – this time in their own homes. It is precisely for this reason that we have 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 many live concerts (although without an audience) or an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. We trust that, in this way, we will be able to make the evenings you are spending at home more pleasant and full of magical and uplifting moments. Take good care, and let’s continue to stick together!

PHILIPPE HERREWEGHE AND THE HUNGARIAN NATIONAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Beethoven: Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36 • Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor (‚Fate’), Op. 67 Joining the Hungarian National Philharmonic to pay homage to Beethoven in the 250th anniversary of his birth with performances of the composer’s second and fifth symphonies will be one of the greatest conductors of our time: Philippe Herreweghe. Although these compositions are frequently played core works, Herreweghe is an artist with an exploratory bent, always seeking out new details previously considered unworthy of note. This means we can be sure that this concert will have lots of exciting surprises to offer. We’re broadcasting this performance live!

PIANO RECITAL BY DENIS MATSUEV
Beethoven: Sonata in D minor, op. 31, No. 2 • Beethoven: Sonata in A-flat major, op. 110 • Rachmaninoff: Prelude in G-sharp minor, op. 32, No. 12 • Rachmaninoff: Étude-tableau in A minor, op. 39, No. 2 • Tchaikovsky: (‚Grand’) Sonata in G major, op. 37 The extraordinary Russian pianist - who, as Artist of the Season, played three times at Müpa Budapest in the 2018-19 season - most often performs in programmes consisting of works by composers from his homeland. At this solo recital, he won’t be disloyal to the Russian repertoire, but we will also encounter two Beethoven sonatas. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 26 November 2018.

In 1862 he completed his first oratorio, The Legend of St. Elizabeth. Liszt already took a strong interest in the life of the Hungarian princess and Bavarian duchess during his Weimar years, and even visited her former home, the castle of Wartburg, in the company of the Grand Duke of Weimar. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 30 March 2018.
