What would classical music be without popular music? Many beloved works would be missing from the repertoire! Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra will pursue this idea with three different examples. When Sergei Prokofiev left his Russian homeland after the October Revolution and arrived in New York in 1918, he met three former fellow students from St. Petersburg who had founded a klezmer ensemble and gave him scores with Ashkenazi folk songs and Hasidic dances. Prokofiev used this material to create his Overture on Hebrew Themes: a lively and humorous piece that evokes memories of the lost world of the shtetl. Béla Bartók, on the other hand, wandered through the entire Balkans in search of unadulterated, ancient peasant music. It became the starting point for his musical departure into new worlds - as we find in the Second Violin Concerto, which the Moldova-born Patricia Kopatchinskaja plays in an incomparable way. The Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, in turn, ennobled the dances of his homeland by incorporating them into his symphonies: even the heroic Seventh Symphony features a rapid and fiery furiant as its scherzo.
