From the Barbican, London, Jonathan Biss (piano), BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano. Kurtag: ...quasi una fantasia... Mozart: Piano Concerto No 9.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra return to the Barbican Hall in London for a concert in which they perform works spanning two centuries of the intertwined musical stories of Hungary and Austria.

The concert opens with Gyorgy Kurtag's ...quasi una fantasia..., an overt reference to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, which is also titled 'quasi una fantasia', but a piece that uses the full spatial possibilities of the Barbican Hall with members of the orchestra spread around the auditorium.

It is followed by Mozart's Piano Concerto in E flat, often known as Jeunehomme, and penned when the compser was working in Salzburg, for a visiting female French pianist - Miss Jeunehomme.

BBC Radio 3 - Twenty Minutes, Miklos Radnoti: Poet of My Heart

Actress and writer Mia Nadasi discusses the life and work of Hungarian poet Miklos Radnoti

Actress and writer Mia Nadasi discusses the life and work of celebrated Hungarian poet Miklos Radnoti, who died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis.

Actress and writer Mia Nadasi discusses the life and work of celebrated Hungarian poet Miklos Radnoti, who died in 1944. His life ended tragically when he was killed by the Nazis as his labour unit was driven on a forced march from a camp in Serbia to Austria. When his body was later exhumed, a notebook of poems was found hidden in his clothing containing some of his greatest and most memorable poems.

Like most Hungarians of her generation, Mia remembers studying Radnoti's poems at school, and her imagination being fired both by the story of his sad and premature death and by the revolutionary, tender lyricism of his writing.

The talk includes readings of some of Radnoti's most moving poetry.

From the Barbican Hall, London, the conclusion of a concert by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano. Kodaly: Matrai Pictures. Bartok: The Miraculous Mandarin.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra return to the Barbican Hall in London for a concert in which they perform works spanning two centuries of the intertwined musical stories of Hungary and Austria. 

Kodaly along with Bartok was an advocate of Hungarian folk music and although his Matrai Pictures are written as a seamlessly fluid piece, they are a compilation of five folk-songs which form a narrative thread. The concert ends with Bartok's 'pantomime' The Miraculous Mandarin, a score full of vibrant orchestrations, forceful rhythms and, once again, Hungarian folk themes.
