Franz Schubert's Winterreise in the BMC

Franz Schubert's Winterreise in the BMC

 
 

Theatre, film and music are intertwined in Budapest Music Center where Kornél Mundruczó's Winterreise has its premiere on 3rd and 4th October during CAFé Budapest Contemporary Arts Festival. Instead of Franz Schubert's original piano accompaniment for his song cycle, Hans Zender's transcript from 1993 was used for this co-operation of Mundruczó and Danubia Orchestra Óbuda. Winterreise's story about the unpredictability of human fate is told through recent events of the so called migrant crisis of Europe. The conductor is Máté Hámori, and solist is János Szemenyei.
