| Description: | No doubt fairies exist. Mendelssohn spoke their language well. When he considered composing music to Shakespeare's play, he decided to focus on the scenes with fairies. Humans like this music. It entertains them.They are allowed to listen to this CD too. However, we made this recording for fairies. They listen differently. This recording is full of hidden messages, which they will understand. Fairies are around us all the time. They occasionally interfere but sometimes they wait a long time waiting for the right moment. If you keep your voice down and open your eyes, you will notice them. They listen to this music with more attention.
When Iván Fischer founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra more than 30 years ago he made a personal dream become true. Core of the philosophy of the orchestra is the total absence of daily routine. It is about taking the risk, the initiative and freedom to do things differently. Every concert is therefore a joyful discovery of uncharted territory, a journey to new horizons in music. It feels unexpected and surprising as if it was played for the very first time. The Festival Orchestra is driven by an openness towards the new and the unknown, by curiosity and attention to details. It is the innovative approach to music, the musicianâ??s dedication and their permanent strive for excellence that made Budapest Festival Orchestra the youngest of the top 10 ranked ensembles in the world. - BUDAPEST FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA/IVAN FISCHERMendelssohn's Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream was written in 1842, on a commission from King Frederick William IV of Prussia. The king was inspired by a presentation of Sophocles's Antigone which featured music by Mendelssohn, and was the first of several commissions for the composer to write music to accompany the king's favorite plays. It is interesting to note that the work's dazzling overture was actually written a full sixteen years earlier, and was not originally intended to be performed in conjunction with Shakespeare's play. This recording from Ivan Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra captures the magical spirit of this music as never before. The program is complemented appropriately by three orchestral songs of Fanny Mendelssohn."Ouvertüren und Bühnenmusik" in the SACD+CD format by Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra, released by Channel, is a captivating collection that brings together some of the most celebrated overtures and stage music from classical repertoire. This release offers listeners an immersive audio experience with both high-resolution SACD sound and standard CD compatibility. Iván Fischer, one of today?s leading conductors, has garnered international acclaim for his innovative interpretations and artistic vision. Under his direction, the Budapest Festival Orchestra has become renowned worldwide for its vibrant performances and exceptional musicality, earning numerous awards including Gramophone Awards and being named among the world?s top orchestras.
