Festival tour Lucerne Festival

With his cycle Má vlast, Bedřich Smetana created a musical declaration of love for his Czech homeland – its landscape, its history, its legends. Kirill Petrenko presents the six symphonic poems of the cycle, each of which takes us into very different Romantic sound worlds – sometimes majestic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes lyrical, but always full of Bohemian musical elan. The best-known work from it is undoubtedly The Moldau, a lively, folkloric tone poem that portrays the river of the same name.

The Fifth Symphony is a work with which Anton Bruckner fought for public recognition. In it, he reveals himself to be a gifted musical architect, bringing together voluptuous melodies, solemn chorales and sophisticated contrapuntal structures to create a symphonic monument. Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time. Víkingur Ólafsson performs the solo part of Robert Schumann’s piano concerto, which transports the audience into a romantic sound world.

Festival Strings Lucerne

Die Harfe assoziiert man meist mit himmlischen Klängen, was natürlich wunderbar zu Weihnachten passt. Dass in dem Instrument jedoch ein ungleich größerer Reichtum an Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten steckt, beweist das Adventskonzert mit Weltstar Xavier de Maistre. Der charismatische Franzose hat sich längst einen Namen gemacht als Musiker, der ebenso virtuos wie experimentierfreudig Grenzen und Repertoire seines Instruments erweitert. Da wird ein festliches Orgelkonzert kurzerhand für die Harfe umgeschrieben und sorgt für berührende neue Hörerlebnisse. Hinzu kommen Originalkompositionen von Händel und Boieldieu, die das ungeheure – und unerwartete – Klangspektrum seines Instruments auffächern: Von zart glitzernden Melodien bis hin zu satten Akkorden und donnernden Bässen. Die Festival Strings Lucerne steuern mit Tschaikowskys Streicherserenade einen echten Klassiker der Romantik bei.
