The Lukács season ticket consists of three concerts full of new joys to discover. Above all, two young conductors. After taking up the baton on the first evening, the seasoned maestro Domonkos Héja will then turn it over to the 31-year-old Gábor Hontvári and the 37-year-old Dániel Erdélyi, giving them a chance to helm the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra for the second and third outings on the subscription.

The programmes, too, promise much of interest for music lovers seeking fresh experiences. These include, on the first evening, the overture to Richard III, a piece by Robert Volkmann, one of the Liszt Academy’s earliest esteemed professors and a Romantic composer in his own right, followed by a bold stylistic leap into György Kurtág’s Viola Concerto. Similarly intriguing juxtapositions will emerge in the later concerts, with Tchaikovsky’s overture-fantasia The Tempest paired with Emil Petrovics’s Cantata No. 5 in the second, and Schumann’s Julius Caesar Overture leading into György Orbán’s work for string orchestra Sopra canti diversi and Erich Korngold’s Much Ado About Nothing Suite in the third.

Crowning the more obscure music making up the first half of these quite masterfully researched concert programmes will be second halves each comprised of one of the most majestic pillars of the core repertoire in the form of a Beethoven symphony, starting with his Seventh in the first instalment, his Sixth, the “Pastoral”, in the second, and his Fifth, known as the “Fate Symphony”, in the third. As far as the soloists go, we will have Máté Szűcs, one of the most outstanding violists of our time, interpreting the Kurtág concerto, and Zsombor Cserményi singing the bass part in Petrovics’s cantata.
