Festival tour Lucerne Festival

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)
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.

Festival Strings Lucerne

Tue, Dec 16, 2025, 20:00
Xavier de Maistre (Harp), Festival Strings Lucerne (Ensemble)
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.
