The idea of conducting the Christus oratorio for the first time and of doing so at the Liszt Academy, on 22nd April,, in a perfect fusion of Hungarian musical and national history fills me with pride and honour.

I return to the Teatro Massimo di Palermo after several years, and I do so with an ambitious symphonic programme, keen to reconnect with the spaces of this beautiful Sicilian theatre and with the voice of its orchestra.

At a time when my work as a conductor of symphonic works is taking me around Europe to lead some exceptional orchestras, I consider it a great honour to be conducting the programme selected with the Göteborg Opera Orchestra entitled “Italian Emotions”.

The recording made on 31st March 2026 at Müpa Budapest for Bartók Radio is now available. I conducted the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the women’s and children’s choirs, and mezzosoprano Dorottya Láng in Mahler’s Symphony No.
