Hommage à Claudio Abbado par Martha Argerich et Andris Nelsons

Julien Hanck, 9th November

Tod und Auferstehung: Bruckners Achte mit Nézet-Séguin in Lucerne

Thomas Schacher, 19th August

Yannik Nézet-Séguin kombiniert Bruckners Achte Symphonie mit einem Vorspann von Lili Boulanger und schafft so unerwartete Bezüge. Das Lucerne Festival Orchestra zeigt sich in Bestform.

After months of alerts, isolation and uncertainty, it was good to have the Lucerne Festival back, with effervescent performances of Mozart and Schubert.
