Reviewers writing about Concerto Budapest's events regularly highlight the percussionist section's excellent performance; they praise their accuracy and their powerful or - if necessary - unimposing presence in the orchestra. This time, the percussionists take centre stage with a programme ranging from the late 19th century to the present day. Jason Treuting’s piece Extremes is part of an all-night composition, Imaginary City, which was commissioned by six American cities in 2009. Debussy’s work, whose original title Tarantelle styrienne the master himself changed to simple “Danse”, was originally a piano piece penned after the years Debussy spent at the Villa Medici on a scholarship. In Bob Becker’s quintet, Mudra, traditional northern Indian music blends with western drumming.  Bánkövi completed his work, Struggle, within the framework of the Zoltán Kodály Music Scholarship in 1993. Zoltán Farkas described the piece as follows: the composition gives the impression of a stylised, ritual struggle”. The most recent work staged at the concert is Aurél Holló’s 2016 composition, Fast Lane, in which the composer applied unique techniques. Finally, the audience can enjoy Aurél Holló's re-arrangement of George Gershwin's three songs in one piece.
