Hungarian Gypsy Folk

The Budapest Festival Orchestra led by Ivan Fischer performs a selection of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies and Brahms's Hungarian Dances, concluding with Brahms's First Symphony.

Hungary's folk rhythms beat through the heart of this concert as the inimitable forces of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and founder and conductor Ivan Fischer return to the Proms with an ode to their homeland. Joining them on stage is a thrilling trio of the country's folk musicians, and together they showcase why these tunes have been such a rich source of inspiration to composers across history. The Royal Albert Hall resounds with a selection of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies and Brahms's Hungarian Dances as they have never been heard before, and concludes with Brahms's dramatic First Symphony.
