Lucerne Festival 2018

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra performs Bartok's Divertimento for String Orchestra and, with Sol Gabetta, Martinu's Cello Concerto No 1 in D, at the 2018 Summer Festival in Lucerne.

Two high-energy 20th Century works with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth in a concert taken from this year's Lucerne Festival. First, Bartok's Divertimento for String Orchestra, which was the last work he composed just before he fled Hungary during the outbreak of World War II. It is less intense than his preceding works and its outer movements shine out with a joyful optimism. Then, cellist Sol Gabetta joins the orchestra for a rare performance of Martin暖's Cello Concerto No. 1 in D. After Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra the afternoon finishes with a performance of Bruckner's Mass no 2 in e minor interspersed with movements from Henri Tomasi's Fanfares liturgiques. The concert is presented by Jonathan Swain.
