Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions again with us following our Mozart concert with Gábor Takács-Nagy and Máté Szűcs. We derive so much energy from these for the coming weeks. We have once again collected the notes which brought us the most joy – we hope you enjoy reading them!
“It was magical. Bliss, festiveness and fabulous harmony between conductor, soloist and orchestra members. One of the greatest experiences of my life.”
“A refreshing, original and entertaining performance of high artistic caliber – as befitting the brilliance of Mozart.”
“Engrossing, mesmerizing and wonderful – I was so enchanted I almost cried.”
“An outstanding, pleasant, joyful and high-quality performance – it certainly was worth getting up in the morning that day!”
“Wonderful harmony between the instruments. None of them were too much; they paid attention to one another; and the musicians play together to express the music precisely. A wonderful ensemble!”
“An experience that was one of life’s gifts.”
“Incredibly joyful music!”
“These concerts are always refreshing and a joy to attend; you leave far happier than when you arrived.”
“A real experience for young and old alike! As one fifth-grader put it: ‘Nothing exciting happened – it was just very peaceful and calm music! The conductor was always smiling, and you could tell he loved what he was doing.’”
“Mozart’s music really does have healing power; it lifts your body and soul; supreme happiness. Thank you for yet another amazing experience to Gábor Takács-Nagy, Máté Szűcs and the outstanding Budapest Festival Orchestra.”
“There really are no new words for this. The orchestra, the soloist and the conductor all delivered the quality we had come to know of them. This is why I purchase season passes to the BFO’s concerts. In a word: wonderful.”
“A beautiful program; a magical performance by Máté Szűcs; the enchanting personality of Gábor Takács-Nagy; and the wonderful orchestra – what more could you need? A real celebration and a cause for calm in the hustle-and-bustle of daily life.”
“Let me quote my five-year-old grandchild, who had this to say after hearing a beautiful piece of music: ‘like floating in space.’ That was exactly how I felt after the concert yesterday.”
“The artists of the Budapest Festival Orchestra once again gave a stellar performance, thanks to Gábor Takács-Nagy’s incredibly rich system of gestures. I’m avoiding using the word ‘conducting’ intentionally in his case, because he is not a conductor: he is a magician, in the most positive and noble sense of the word. And the best possible partners he could have in this role in Hungary are the outstanding musicians of the BFO.”
