Lucerne Festival 2017 – Riccardo Chailly conducts Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn

“What an evening. What a kickoff. The future of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra – it has now begun.” This is how Peter Hagmann of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung described Riccardo Chailly’s debut as the new artistic director of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra last year.

Chailly devoted himself in his second year in Lucerne to the works of composers that strongly influenced him during his conducting career.

Among these are Felix Mendelssohn and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The program included Mendelssohn’s enchanting tone poems to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony, based on the poem written by Lord Byron.

“A demonstration of orchestral strengths”  Luzerner Zeitung  August 20th, 2017
