RICHARD WAGNER: Tristan und Isolde – Prelude and Isoldes Liebestod
ERNEST CHAUSSON: Poème de l’amour et de la mer, Op. 19 (Poem of Love and the Sea)
***
BÉLA BARTÓK: Concerto for Orchestra, Sz. 116, BB 123

Marlis Petersen soprano
Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: György Vashegyi

Joining the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra as the soloist at this concert conducted by general music director György Vashegyi will be the world-famous German soprano Marlis Petersen. The programme ranges from Romanticism through the fin de siècle period to the 20th century, with the Prelude and Isolde’s Liebestod from Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde being followed by the rare treat of Ernest Chausson’s song cycle Poème de l’amour et de la mer, composed between 1882 and 1890 and revised in 1893, and Bartók’s late masterpiece, written in America, Concerto for Orchestra.

The focus this evening is on a unique performer and a magically beautiful masterpiece that still remains to be discovered, as György Vashegyi, general music director of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, conducts them in a programme of German Romantic, French fin de siècle and 20th-century Hungarian music on the stage of Müpa Budapest. Serving as the ensemble’s guest soloist is the world-famous German operatic soprano Marlis Petersen, who will sing Ernest Chausson’s song cycle Poème de l’amour et de la mer, which he composed between 1882 and 1890 and revised in 1893. This refined and visionary French music will be preceded by the passionate German Romantic sounds of the Prelude and Isolde’s Liebestod from Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde. The ensemble will conclude the concert in the second part with an emblematic work from their own musical culture: Bartók’s masterpiece of love of country and homesickness Concerto for Orchestra.

Our offer


For the opening concert of the 2025/2026 season, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and its Kossuth Prize-winning chief music director György Vashegyi invite the audience first and foremost on a pleasant retrospective by performing Le Roi d’Ys overture from Lalo’s opera, which will cast our minds back to the recent successful premiere of the work in Hungary.

A French evening in the spirit of refinement, colours, moods – and pathos. The Debussy work, L’Après-midi d’un Faune, heralds the birth of impressionism and the two Saint-Saëns compositions, the Cello Concerto in A minor and the hugely popular Organ Symphony, represent romanticism – the latter of which is heavily influenced by Liszt. It is not just the composers who are French: so are the conductor and the soloist.

The guest appearance of the world-famous American maestro Lawrence Foster, who represents the senior age group of the international community of composers, promises to be among the outstanding events of the season. The musician with Romanian parents has conducted the Hungarian National Philharmonic on several occasions and each visit has attracted an enthusiastic response.
