- The Budapest Festival Orchestra won Gramophone's 2022 Orchestra of the Year Award this week and we were delighted that its Music Director and founder Iván Fischer could send us these thoughts about the orchestra, and about how all orchestras need to adapt to survive.

Vitality, creativity, performances motivated by joy, producing for others, evolutionary, revolutionary, concern for the orchestra members' hearing. Keeping classical music alive, employing innovations and avoiding routine! Creativity in productions and presentations. Wonderful!
Went to their performance last night - part of Edinburgh international festival - fantastic 5 curtain calls!
What inspiring ideas for the future of orchestral concert music. Thanks, maestro Iván Fischer.
Maestro Fischer has created a fine orchestra, whose recordings I have enjoyed for years. Contemporary music and composers should be incorporated into the repertoire, as were the great composers of the past when their works were newly created. However, I think and hope that the 200 years of music to which Maestro Fischer refers will continue to be performed in future centuries. Great art is great art, whenever it was created. Shakespeare is as superlative today as it was 400 years ago and will be 400 years from now. The same is true of music, however many centuries past or future.
Lovely!
Mozart and Beethoven were content to simply get a bunch of competent musicians together to (more or less) play their stuff as well as possible. Mozart and Beethoven were frequently disappointed with the level of playing of orchestral musicians. Orchestras are now much, much, much better than in those times. What we lack is great contemporary classical music - all of it is trash - all of it. (That's why we constantly hear the old stuff - over and over and over. The last time a great classical piece was written was probably around 1950.) I voted for the Budapest Orchestra and i hope Ivan will remember that.
I agree with most of what you said, but where is the problem? Must have something to do with our musical education. Why can’t the tried and tested approaches be adapted to make lyrical contemporary pieces? I am not a musician but a recent concert by tan dun Buddha passion does not sound too bad as a new piece.
