A statue of conductor Georg Solti will be unveiled in front of the newly refurbished Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in central Budapest on Tuesday.
The bronze statue sculpted by Peter Parkanyi Raab is nearly three metres tall.
"I was honoured to be commissioned and to have been chosen by Lady Valerie Solti herself after being shown the work of several artists," Parkanyi Raab told MTI on Thursday.
The artist said the Academy building, where several statues and ornaments by great artists such as Alajos Strobl are on display, had been an inspiration.
He said Lady Solti had been a great help by lending him photographs that aided his depiction of Solti as seen through his wife's eyes.
