It's always something touching to play Haydn in the Main Hall of the Esterházy Castle, Eisenstadt as Principal Bass of the Haydn-Philharmonie Having wonderful musicians on stage like world-class cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and one of the greatest concert masters I know, Daniel Giglberger - that's already the cherry on the cookie! "The 7 last words of the Saviour" at Easter - I have no words...

Zsolt Fejérvári played the solo bass part of Mozart's famous baritone concert aria „Per questa bella mano” with the Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Ivan Fischer in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam as well in the Royal Albert Hall. World-class German singer Hanno Müller-Brachmann sung the baritone part. The concerts were performed in Budapest (MUPA), Amsterdam (Concertgebouw) and London (Royal Festival Hall). The Telegraph / Ivan Hewett: "This Prom was a fine example. (...) Mozart surrounded the vocal melody (eloquently sung by bass Hanno Müller-Brachmann, standing in for Neil Davies) with an absurdly virtuoso double-bass part, tossed off here by the Budapest Festival Orchestra’s principal bassist Zsolt Fejérvári." Seen and heard / Leon Bosch: "Hanno Müller-Brachmann standing in for the indisposed Neal Davis, and with the flamboyant and self-assured Fejérvári by his side, gave a plausible if lack-lustre account of Mozart’s tender love song."
