HECTOR BERLIOZ: Symphonie fantastique, op. 14

Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi

Very little music condenses so much desire and passion, and also projects so many visions on to the canvas of our imagination, as Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, one of the greatest masterpieces of the early Romantic era. Not every conductor is capable of fully conveying the extremes of this composition, but Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi, an old favourite of Hungarian audiences and the winner of Hungarian Television’s First International Conducting Competition, certainly is.

Hector Berlioz (1803–1869) was seven or eight years older than the members of the great Romantic generation – who were born around 1810-11 – so it is understandable that the most famous piece of his career, the Symphonie fantastique (1830), was composed when Schumann, Chopin and Liszt were still writing their early works. This symphony is one of the very first works of authentic programme music, and has a powerful desire to paint pictures and moods. Reveries – Passions, A Ball, Scene in the Fields, March to the Scaffold, Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath – the titles of the movements reveal the variable moods and imaginative modes of expression in the music.

The first part of this concert prior to Berlioz’s symphony consists of two shorter orchestral works.  Beehoven‘s Egmont Overture is an expression of the elemental desire for freedom, while Berlioz‘s Roman Carnival Overture is characterized by an overwhelming sense of joie de vivre, energy and festive ebullience

Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi was born in Iwaki in 1940. His work became widely known in Hungary after he won a prestigious Budapest music competition in 1974. After the death of János Ferencsik, Kobayashi was the principal conductor of the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Today, he is conductor laureate of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also principal conductor of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.

Our offer


Az ezeregy éjszaka az egyik legismertebb és legcsodálatosabb mese az egész világirodalomban. Páratlanul gazdag és színes történet szerelemről, hűségről, örök emberi értékekről, de ravaszságról, cselvetésekről és gyarlóságról is.

1940-ben a budapesti Operettszínházban bemutatóra készülődtek. Eisemann Mihály legújabb művét vitték színre, főszerepben Kiss Manyival. Az előadás elkezdődött és egyszer csak Kiss Manyi hangja töltötte be a teret: „Jaj de jó a habos sütemény…” Ugye, hogy ismerős? A szavakkal együtt rögtön bekúszik a dallam is. Eisemann darabja nem egy klasszikus operett, nincs hatalmas énekkara és tánckara. Amije viszont van, az a fülbemászó dallam és a magával ragadó történet Bán Sándor tenoristáról és az őt bálványozó bakfisokról.

This multi-art production draws on the song, dance and literary traditions of Mezőség (Câmpia Transilvaniei), a region in Transylvania with a very exciting and colourful culture. Musically, the show is centred around movements from Mikrokosmos, Béla Bartók’s piano cycle, as well as the melodies from Mezőség that inspired him.
