HAYDN (1732–1809) – J. P. SALOMON (1745–1815): Symphony No. 97 in C major\, Hob. I:97\nWolfgang Amadeus MOZART (1756–1791): Piano Quartet in G minor\, K. 478\n“Verbunkos” music from the 18th–19th centuries – a selection of works by József BENGRÁF (1745–1791)\, Antal CSERMÁK (1774–1822)\, Ignác RUZITSKA (1777–1833) and their contemporaries\n—\nFelix MENDELSSOHN BARTHOLDY (1809–1847): String Symphony in D major\, MWV N 2\nFriedrich Wilhelm KALKBRENNER (1785–1849): Piano Sextet in G major\, Op. 58 \nAt its two summer evening concerts\, Ensemble Variabile\, comprising some of Hungary’s finest period-instrument specialists\, brings to life the musical world of Eszterháza’s golden age from a distinctive perspective. At the turning point between Classicism and Romanticism\, salon music and domestic music-making were an integral part of daily life not only in aristocratic households but also in bourgeois homes. Amateur musicians often possessed instrumental skills that rivalled those of professionals. This provided fertile ground for the flourishing of chamber music genres and inspired numerous arrangements of large-scale orchestral works. It was\, for instance\, Johann Peter Salomon who prepared chamber versions of Haydn’s London Symphonies\, the very impresario to whom the composer owed his two celebrated journeys to England. With its equal treatment of all instrumental parts\, Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor already points towards the Romantic era. The second half of the programme evokes the early stages of that period with the youthful String Symphony composed by the twelve-year-old Mendelssohn\, alongside a grand and representative Sextet by the acclaimed piano virtuoso Friedrich Wilhelm Kalkbrenner. The selection is completed and lent historical authenticity by a verbunkos programme\, illustrating the distinctive Hungarian instrumental tradition of the period\, which exerted as far as Vienna.

HAYDN: String Quartet in C major\, Op. 20\, No. 2\, Hob. III:32\nF. W. KALKBRENNER (1785–1849): Piano Sextet in G major\, Op. 58 \nAt its two summer evening concerts\, the Ensemble Variabile\, made up of outstanding Hungarian historically informed musicians\, brings to life the musical world of Eszterháza’s golden age from a distinctive perspective. At the turning point between Classicism and Romanticism\, salon music and domestic music-making were a common feature not only of aristocratic households but also of bourgeois homes\, and the instrumental skills of amateur performers often rivalled those of professionals. This provided fertile ground for chamber music genres and also gave rise to numerous arrangements of orchestral works. From Haydn’s London Symphonies\, including the “Surprise” Symphony\, famed for the unexpected forte chord in its second movement\, Johann Peter Salomon prepared arrangements\, to whom the composer owed his two celebrated journeys to England. The Op. 20 string quartet cycle is a milestone of the genre\, pointing towards early Romanticism through the equality of its parts. This style is represented in the programme by the lyrical and sensitive rondo of Mozart’s youngest son\, as well as the representative sextet by the celebrated piano virtuoso Friedrich Wilhelm Kalkbrenner. The programme is completed and lent historical authenticity by a verbunkos programme\, illustrating the distinctive Hungarian instrumental tradition of the period\, which exerted influence as far as Vienna.

I:76\nWolfgang Amadeus MOZART (1756–1791): Piano Concerto No. 11 in F major\, K. 413\n—\nJoseph HAYDN: Symphony No. 79 in F major\, Hob. I:79 \nA Viennese Classical period is the densest era in music history: it is striking that the output of just a few years or decades\, produced in a single small region\, could have exerted such a fundamental influence on the entire subsequent history of music. This is represented by the two concerts of the Orfeo Orchestra\, whose soloist is Petra Somlai and whose conductor is György Vashegyi. Haydn\, in the early 1780s\, wrote his Symphonies Nos. 76 and 79 within the walls of Esterházy Palace\, works that already represent his mature creative period: the experimental spirit of earlier decades is complemented by a balanced sense of form\, rich thematic development\, and a refined shaping of orchestral sound. While Haydn was working on the Symphony in E-flat major at Eszterháza in 1782\, Mozart\, having recently moved to Vienna\, was composing piano concertos for his own performances. As his opportunities were still limited\, he deliberately composed in such a way that the works could be performed both in larger public concerts and in more intimate chamber music settings\, so the Concerto in F major is also characterised by a rare balance of virtuosity and intimate expression.

I:77\nWolfgang Amadeus MOZART (1756–1791): Piano Concerto No. 13 in C major\, K. 415\n—\nJoseph HAYDN: Symphony No. 81 in G major\, Hob. I:81 \nA Viennese Classical period is the densest era in music history: it is striking that the output of just a few years or decades\, produced in a single small region\, could have exerted such a fundamental influence on the entire subsequent history of music. This is represented by the two concerts of the Orfeo Orchestra\, whose soloist is Petra Somlai and whose conductor is György Vashegyi. In the early 1780s\, Haydn and Mozart were simultaneously shaping the new language of the classical symphony and concerto. The B flat major and G major symphonies are two splendid works from Haydn’s mature creative period: vivid imprints of a time when his music had already far outgrown the framework of the Esterházy court and had become known throughout Europe. Not only in the programme\, but also chronologically\, Mozart’s 1783 Piano Concerto in C major is placed between the two symphonies\, serving as one of the most important vehicles and documents of the composer’s early Viennese success. Mozart himself performed the work at his public academies and proudly wrote that it could address both connoisseurs and less experienced listeners alike.

ALBRECHTSBERGER: Prelude and fugue in B-flat major for four hands\nJ. HAYDN: Partita in F major for four hands\, Hob. XVIIa:2 \nThe four-hand repertoire is a sadly overlooked yet exceptionally rich and fascinating field of 18th-century keyboard music\, where domestic music-making\, education\, and compositional practice are closely intertwined. Albrechtsberger\, for example\, was not only a composer but also a defining figure in Viennese musical life as a teacher; his Prelude and Fugue in C major and B flat major are well-known examples of his masterful contrapuntal technique. Charles Burney’s Sonata is a reflection of 18th-century English musical taste filtered through Viennese influence\, while Haydn’s F major Divertimento (“Il maestro e lo scolare”) presents a witty musical dialogue between teacher and student. Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s E minor Fantasy and Fugue moves along the boundary between Baroque and the Empfindsamer Stil\, or “sensitive style”\, while Haydn’s F major Partita demonstrates the lighter\, more dance-like side of the genre. A special feature of the programme is an overture and fantasy reflecting contemporary repertoire\, written by Márton Borsányi\, one of the performers of the evening\, who is joined by harpsichord artist Róza Bene.

HAYDN (1732–1809): Symphony No. 88 in G major\, Hob. I:88 – transcription for four hands\nW. A. MOZART (1756–1791): Sonata for four hands in G major (unfinished)\, K. 357\n—\nR. SCHUMANN (1810–1856): Bilder aus Osten\, Op. 66\nChorales by J. S. BACH (1685–1750) in four-hand transcription by György KURTÁG (*1926) \nRita Papp and László Gerhát\, a fortepiano duo committed to historically informed performance practice\, regularly explore lesser-known layers of the chamber music repertoire. Their programme presents a cross-section of four-hand literature\, offering a view of 18th- and 19th-century music\, with a forward glance all the way to the present day.\nNothing could more authentically evoke the vibrant atmosphere of classical domestic music-making than the four-hand arrangement of Haydn’s Symphony in G major: the enjoyment of orchestral works known from concert halls and salons in such arrangements was a common practice of the period.\nBy contrast\, Mozart’s unfinished single movement Sonata in G major reveals an early stage in the development of the four-hand genre\, with operatic gestures and clear formal thinking.\nThe second half of the programme highlights key moments from the 19th and 20th centuries. Schumann’s Bilder aus Osten is a cycle of Romantic character pieces in which dance-like and lyrical movements alternate\, while the concert concludes with Bach’s timeless chorales in arrangements by György Kurtág\, paying tribute to the centenary of the composer this year.

A. MOZART (1756–1791): Symphony No. 27 in G major\, K. 199/161b\nJ. HAYDN (1732–1809): Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major\, Hob. VIId:3\n—\nM. HAYDN (1737–1806): Symphony No. 19 in D major\, P. 11\, MH 198 \nA Viennese Classical period is one of the defining triads in most listeners’ minds: Haydn\, Mozart\, Beethoven. Yet the concert given by the pioneering Hungarian ensemble of historically informed performance\, Capella Savaria\, demonstrates that Michael Haydn\, Joseph Haydn’s younger brother\, could equally deserve a place in that list\, not least because Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II once attempted to engage him at his court. The inventive symphony by Michael Haydn\, performed in the second half of the programme\, clearly illustrates why he was regarded as one of the most significant composers of his time. Mozart\, also in Salzburg and working alongside Michael Haydn\, composed his Symphony in G major at the age of just seventeen\, under the influence of his Italian journeys. All three movements are characterised by light elegance\, melodic richness\, and a confident sense of form. In Joseph Haydn’s Horn Concerto in D major\, he was among the first to demonstrate that the instrument could function not merely as an orchestral colour but as a fully fledged solo voice. The work was likely written for the outstanding horn player of the Esterházy court\, Thaddäus Steinmüller\, and in this performance it is presented with a solo by Dániel Pálkövi\, a distinguished representative of historically informed brass playing.
