The first half of the concert opens with Várdai playing the Romance in F major that Richard Strauss wrote for cello and orchestra at age 19, followed by Zimmermann's performance of the Viola Concerto left behind by Béla Bartók in undeveloped form for Tibor Serly to complete. Following the interval, the two soloists will join together with Concerto Budapest to perform Strauss's symphonic poem Don Quixote, subtitled "Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character”. The work features the solo cello as the title character in the Cervantes novel, while the solo viola (along with the tenor tuba and bass clarinet) evokes the character of the Don's not entirely willing - yet ever faithful - squire, Sancho Panza.
