Time Out says

The ornate showcase for the conservatoire set up by Franz Liszt himself, who lived nearby, the Music Academy has been housed here since 1907. Its Art Nouveau splendour was comprehensively refurbished just over a century later, leaving a magnificent concert hall for star conductors, virtuosos, music students and spectators alike. Here you can listen to a symphony orchestra, a recital or a chamber concert in sumptuous surroundings with wonderful acoustics, alongside a knowledgeable audience underpinned by a stellar musical heritage. Daily guided tours are offered in English.
