A Successful Marriage
Today we'll feature two performances of the Budapest Festival Orchestra led by conductor Ivan Fischer. Fischer founded the group, and this year is their 25th anniversary. We'll hear works by Sarasate and Brahms from a concert at the Edinburgh Festival featuring the happy couple - Fischer and his band from Budapest.
