Bach and Mendelssohn – a fascinating pair in music history. Despite being born 59 years after the death of the brilliant Baroque composer, Mendelssohn, as a great director, placed them in a kind of master-student relationship.

Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988-re-arranged for violin and string orchestra by Dmitry Sitkovetsky
At the concert of the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra's Liszt Academy Series, the opening piece, Bach's Triple Concerto, reveals live a connection between today's master musician and his students: Dmitry Sitkovetsky, one of the greatest violinists of our day, will take to the stage of the Liszt Academy with the Abouzahra sisters, Amira and Mariam. The achievement of the famous child stars of the Virtuosos talent show is now recognised with several international competition awards, and they are performing on the most prestigious stages around the globe. Together with their mentor, they will now once again give beautiful minutes to the Budapest audience. Then, Amira gets the lead role, as Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in D minor, written early in his career, will be played with her solo.
In the second part of the concert, we can hear one of the most exquisite transcriptions of the season. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, written upon the request of the insomniac Count Keyserlingk, with the undisguised intention that the music should bring relief to the count, were originally composed for a keyboard instrument (harpsichord). Sitkovetsy, the principal soloist and conductor of the concert, has been a recognised and innovative composer of the chamber music repertoire for decades. As a violinist, he dreamed up a successful transcription for violin solo and strings, which will now be performed for the first time in Hungary.
