Bands all over the world

Symphony or chamber orchestra, Italian opera or Viennese classical, Wagner or Haydn - Ádám Fischer, the legendary conductor, fills the music with life, while not forgetting the world in which this music is played. Fischer asserts with conviction that the same front lines are drawn on a small scale within bands and the same wave movements are created as in society, and the conditions within each band faithfully depict our everyday world in miniature form. One of today's most sought-after conductors was born into a family of musicians in Budapest, and at a young age he joined Hans Swarowsky's master class at the Vienna Academy of Music. In András Oplatka's biographical volume, he follows the career of the world-famous artist, and in the process, not only an impressive career picture and outlook on life unfold before us, but we can also get a comprehensive picture of Hungarian and European history in the 20th century.
