Youth Concert of the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

Soap bubbles, blind man’s buff, shuttlecock, leap-frog, spinning top – these are just a few of the games that Bizet penned his four-hand piano pieces to, several of which were then arranged for orchestra. The influential music historian Winton Dean reckons these pieces foreshadow works of the modern French school, Fauré, Debussy and Ravel, associated with childhood, whereby the highest level of musical sophistication is combined with apparent naivety. As to exactly what Debussy and Ravel have to thank Bizet for, well, we can all make up our minds in the House of Music, Hungary and in Studio 6 of Hungarian Radio under the guidance of Gábor Hontvári, while also finding that this music is anything but childish. Free admission but prior registration required at info@radiomusic.hu
