Title: Budapest Festival Orchestra, Ivan Fischer – Wagner: Die Meistersinger (2013)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO

Performances of the music of Richard Wagner will for many be associated with Ivбn Fischer’s elder brother Adam who has conducted complete Ring cycles at Bayreuth & in Budapest. Those, however, who follow the concert schedules of Ivбn Fischer & his phenomenally hard working Budapest Festival Orchestra will know that they have performed the Wagner programme featured on this SACD – or variations on it – to great acclaim in many of the major European cities over the past couple of years.
