What makes Lucerne stand out among the embarrassment of riches of Europe's countless music festivals? For sure, there is the expected stellar roster of visiting conductors, soloists and orchestras. But, uniquely, at their disposal are three specially-formed groups of world-class players. The Lucerne Festival Orchestra is a true army of generals formed from the cream of Europe's foremost ensembles, the core of which is the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. And the Lucerne Academy, largely devoted to new music, is made up of some of the best young musicians to be found anywhere. Penny Gore presents a week of Lucerne Festival highlights featuring all these and some of the Festival's guest orchestras, too. Plus, in his centenary year, performances of music by Andrzej Panufnik.
