  • Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet - excerpts from suites 1 and 2

Conductor Gilbert Varga is a true globetrotter: there's hardly a corner of the world where he hasn't taken the podium. It was scarcely 20 years ago when John Adams won tremendous acclaim at the BBC Proms with his short piece, while Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto is one of the most exciting 20th century pieces of its genre. Prokofiev is his own continent - and a different world.

It is no accident that the two Romeo and Juliet suites are the Russian composer's most popular works, since they retell the timeless tale with both character and a unique voice. Although Gilbert Varga started out playing the same instrument as his father, the legendary violinist and conductor Tibor Varga, his promising career as a soloist was cut short by an accident. This led him to the conductor's podium, where he has pursued a career of nearly unrivalled variety: it has taken him to the great American orchestras, to the Philharmonia Hungarica - which was joined on its first tour of Hungary by Yehudi Menuhin - and all the way to Taiwan, where he remains music director today. Kristóf Baráti is one of the most sought-after violinists of our time, making him yet another world traveller.
"The experience of flow is perhaps the most important feeling that can emerge while performing a musical work, both for the performer and for the listeners. […] I don't think any other branch of the arts is capable of creating such a direct connection between people, and this is probably why it has such a magical effect on people.” (Kristóf Baráti)


Presented by: Pannon Philharmonic
