I discovered a lot of statues in Wien. In Budapest they had statues of Liszt and the unknown Frenz (Franz) Erkel, the composer of the national Hungarian anthem.
In Budapest I went to a concert of... Robbie Williams in the Puskas satdion.

My holidayfriend was not interested in classical music. He calls classical as "slow" music. Later I told him there is also something like "presto" in classical music and that means fast instead of slow. In Budapest we heard that Robbie Williams was sold out, but we manage to get tickets for the concert. Earlier I also saw Rolling Stones (in 1982), David Bowie, Earth Wind and Fire, AL Jarreau, so I also like "fast" non classical music.
Robbie Williams is a 32 year old popstar who was first in the boys-band Take That. The only hit from him I recognize was Angel. Although I was not a big fan of the music, it was fun and a big show, like Andre Rieu, who is also popular amongst broader circles than the serious classical musicfans.
