It is rare to hear so much Brahms in one concert. But Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra seem to have Brahms in their blood. A guaranteed spectacle, with pianist Kirill Gerstein as the icing on the cake. 

That Hungarian dances are tailor-made for the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer seems logical. But when it comes to Brahms, it doesn't stop there: the world-famous conductor and his orchestra keep returning to Brahms - this time for a complete Brahms cycle. The match with pianist Kirill Gerstein is quickly made. For him, too, Brahms's First is not just any piano concerto: it was with this concerto that he made his debut as a star soloist.
