Performer: Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

A concert repertoire played by the fine Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Bernard Haitink conducting, was a promising alliance for the last concert of this year’s Easter festival in Lucerne.

Bernard Haitink celebrated an early 90th birthday conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a searching, joyous account of Beethoven's “Choral” Symphony.

Mariss Jansons and the BRSO offer defining performances of two of Richard Strauss' greatest works.

Mariss Jansons makes the case for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra visiting Carnegie Hall more often. 

The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Jansons treated the Lucerne Festival audience to works by Schumann and Bernstein. But it was pianist Matsuev’s Rachmaninov that electrified the hall.
