- Summary:
- The Berliner Philharmoniker have been a regular festival guest in Lucerne since 1958 performing much acclaimed concerts every year. In 2014, the orchestra completed their cycle "Moving to Modern Times" under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle with Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird", set to gorgeous, scintillatingly colorful ballet music in 1909-10. Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker paired this lush score of oriental lyricism with another masterpiece of the Russian late romanticism: Sergei Rachmaninov's rousing Symphonic Dances, which likewise escorted listeners into a magical realm of fantasy and "made the Russian soul dance, too." (Der Spiegel).
