Summary

János Balázs joins conductor Emilia Hoving and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Cadogan Hall for a programme of Liszt, Bartók and Kodály, featuring the Hungarian Fantasy and Totentanz.

Why it's fantastic

You might recognise the opening Rhapsody from classic cartoons, but hearing its folk-inspired energy live is a completely different thrill. These Hungarian showpieces are famously demanding for the pianist, offering a high-octane introduction to the keyboard’s power that feels more like a feat of athleticism than a typical recital.
