Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Prometheus, S 99

The annual Davos Festival offers a platform to gifted young musicians from around the world to explore and exchange musical genres in a stellar alpine landscape.

For last Sunday’s concert, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony chose a programme with a distinctly Eastern European flavour spanning almost a century and a half. They began with Liszt’s Prometheus, an overture to a set of choral pieces Liszt wrote for a festival celebrating the life and works of German literary philosopher Gottfried von Herder in 1850.

Das Leben ist kein Wunschkonzert? Stimmt! Zur Eröffnung der Europäischen Wochen aber machten die Pilsener Philharmoniker eine Ausnahme.
