Szabó Péter

Péter Szabó was born in 1963. Already during his studies first in Cluj (Rumania), later at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest he won several national and international competitions and was awarded by the International Association of Musicologists. He has given concerts, both as a chamber musician and as a soloist, in several countries of Europe, in the USA and in the Far East. He is solo violincellist of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Camerata Academica of Salzburg. He has made several recordings for Naxos, EMI and Hungaroton and is member of the Takács Piano Trio.

 
 

Instrument: violoncello

Ever since its formation in 1983 the Budapest Festival Orchestra has worked overtime to establish its reputation as Hungary’s entry in the Euro-orchestra stakes, keeping up a stream of recordings, tours and a constant media presence. None of this would have paid off if the orchestra had not proved itself a world-class instrument. The focus of its concerts in London this year (two in June, two in November) is a cycle of the Beethoven piano concertos, but the orchestra’s playing has acquired such magnetism that it fairly upstaged the main event.
