About

Lucerne Festival Orchestra - The First 5 Years

From the very outset, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra - founded by Claudio Abbado in 2003 with the help of famous soloists, chamber recitalists and orchestral musicians - has been enthusiastically received by public and press alike. Time and time again it has been praised for its extraordinary sound and cultured playing, which is produced in the finest spirit of chamber music under the direction of the great Italian conductor.

This new release provides a comprehensive overview of the work of this already legendary exceptional orchestra. It is a representative DVD collection featuring outstanding live recordings of the recent years:

- Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.3
- Bruckner: Symphony No.7
- Debussy: La Mer & Suite Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien
- Mahler: Symphonies Nos.5 & 6

Plus the Documentary “The History of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra” - an intensely moving view on the history of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, including rarely seen rehearsal, concert and archival footage featuring amongst others Ernest Ansermet, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Ferenc Fricsay, Herbert von Karajan, Yehudi Menuhin, Victor de Sabata, Arturo Toscanini…

Bonus DVD: Maurizio Pollini plays Beethoven Piano Concerto No.4. First Release on DVD!

Luxurious presentation: Exclusive DigiPack with slipcase, extended booklet with insightful essays and attractive photographic material from the orchestra’s archive.

It’s different having best friends together. Everyone is there to enjoy making music, to take pleasure, to play with enthusiasm, with passion. They are prepared to do any crazy thing I ask them for the sake of the music. To fly, to walk through fire.” Claudio Abbado
