Lucerne Festival 2025: Chailly conducts Rachmaninoff

Synopsis

The Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly continued their journey into Sergei Rachmaninoff's emotional world. With the rarely performed The Rock, Op. 7, they immersed themselves in the composer's early work. In his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Rachmaninoff counterposes his own piano virtuosity against the brilliance of the legendary violinist Paganini. The piece was performed by the exceptional pianist Beatrice Rana, renowned worldwide for her electrifying playing. To conclude the evening, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, under Riccardo Chailly’s direction, presented Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 1.
