    On 20 Feburary 2023, Riccardo Chailly, Music Director of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, celebrates his 70th birthday. All of us at Lucerne Festival congratulate Maestro Chailly from the bottom of our hearts on this milestone birthday and we are already looking forward to the next concerts in Lucerne.

    Buon compleanno, Maestro!

    Now, it would not be a birthday party without any presents, wouldn't it? To celebrate, our friends over at Accentus Music provide us with an excerpt from one of the Summer Festival 2022's highlights: Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra play Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2.
    This clip is available for one week. The full recording will be available in May 2023 on DVD/BluRay and VOD from Accentus Music.
