The Metropolitan Orchestra – predecessor of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra – gave its debut concert on April 5th 1923 at the Pest Vigadó (Redoute) under the baton of its founding conductor Dezső Bor. After Goldmark’s Sakuntala overture, they performed Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony followed by two extracts from Berlioz’s opera Benvenuto Cellini. After this came Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 and the evening concluded with Svendsen’s composition Paris Carnival.
This evening’s birthday concert features four Hungarian and a “honorary” Hungarian composer, of which Ernő Dohnányi’s Festival Overture and Bartók’s Kossuth Symphony the National Philharmonic recorded on CD in the past few years.
This concert was originally broadcasted on 5th of April 2008.
