Budapest Festival Orchestra and its founder and chief conductor Iván Fischer are regular and welcome guests in Bratislava – today with the creation of two geniuses Richard Strauss and Mahler, active participants in significant changes in the music thinking at the turn of the 20th century. The Bavarian composer bravely resisted the adversities of the time by his creation and conducting. After impressive symphonic and opera projects he retired to the intimacy of reflection and meditation at the end of his life. Gustav Mahler searched for himself his whole life: like he was that wandering journeyman looking for peace in heart and a firm ground under his feet, therefore one of his first greater pieces – a cycle Songs of a Wayfarer – sounds symbolic. The story of the Symphony No. 4 using the words from the collection The Youth’s Magic Horn relates the child’s visions of ethereal, fair heaven and harmony.
