Inspired by Rimsky-Korsakov’s one-act opera, the play by Peter Shaffer
and the feature film Amadeus by Miloš Forman, this concert at the Franz Liszt
Music Academy features works by both Mozart and Salieri. While Wolfgang Amadeus
was acknowledged as a genius from a very young age, Salieri was also a great
composer. The special feature of the evening is that the great Lithuanian virtuoso violinist Julian Rachlin (pictured) not only plays the concert in G major to
introduce the evening, but also conducts the Hungarian National Philharmonic.
