Iv谩n Fischer, conductor

The intoxicating energy of their performances makes any appearance by Iv谩n Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra a highlight of the season. In the first of their two Proms together, they pair Mahler鈥檚 best-loved symphony 鈥� the vivacious Fourth, with its jingling sleighbells and child鈥檚-eye vision of heaven 鈥� with two works exploring the unusual relationship between strings and percussion: Bart贸k鈥檚 dynamic Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta and Enescu鈥檚 Pr茅lude 脿 l鈥檜nisson, with its slow-build tension.
