The wild dance rhythms of Hungarian folk music are at the beating heart of much of Brahms’s writing. The German composer was hugely influenced by its brooding, lilting melodies and fast, whirling tempos when he heard the music of refugees fleeing the Hungarian Revolution in the mid-1800s, and when touring with the violinist and composer Eduard Reményi.

Gypsy band Budapest Bár join baritone Benjamin Appl, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Thomas Dausgaard for an evening that interweaves Gypsy, Folk and Classical music. In the first half, Brahms’s Hungarian Dances (three orchestrated by Dausgaard) and his arrangements of Schubert’s songs are interspersed with authentic folk performances by Budapest Bár. A complete performance of Brahms’s Second Symphony makes up the second half: a work with all the vigour, passion and abandon of a traditional Magyar night-out. The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

This event is jointly-promoted with Celtic Connections.
