With Vicente in Budapest - About art, music, and people who show you the way
"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." Rumi Hungary, on a December evening. It's saturday, I am working, this time in the Bela Bartok concert hall of the Budapest Palace of Arts. I've seen quite a few concerts halls already, but I can hardly find words to describe this architectural gem, feast for the eyes and delight for the ears. Everything here pays tribute to Art. Whether you are seated on stage or in the audience, c olours , shapes , atmosphere aspire and reach to pure harmony. You can also be seated right behind the musicians, on a balcony, beneath this magnificent organ - ninety-two stops, five manuals, 6804 pipes - which building requested a three years joint effort of the GermanOrgelbau-Mulheisen, the Organ Building Manufacture Pecs, Gabor Zoboki, the leading architect of the Palace of Art, and numerous top-notch organists, musicians and acoustics specialists.
