| Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827) | Fidelio, Op.72: Overture | |
| Barber, Samuel (1910-1981) | Violin Concerto, Op.14 | |

| Michael Sanderling | Conductor |
| Gil Shaham | Violin |
Grand finale to a strong season:
This festive evening begins with Beethoven's “Fidelio” overture - a work from the founding year of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra. Superstar violinist Gil Shaham makes Samuel Barber's emotional violin concerto shine, before Sibelius' Symphony No. 2 brings the season to a powerful close with its Nordic expanse and heroic power.
Recommendation: A season finale at the highest level - with a world-class soloist, chief conductor Michael Sanderling and a program that lingers on.
