The 2025 Lucerne Festival hosts an all-Rachmaninov evening with two of Italy’s most celebrated classical artists: pianist Beatrice Rana and conductor Riccardo Chailly. Leading the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Chailly opens with The Rock, a youthful symphonic poem dedicated to Rimsky-Korsakov, inspired by lines from Mikhail Lermontov. Rana then takes the stage for the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, a work that blends dazzling virtuosity with lyrical depth. The concert concludes with Rachmaninov’s Symphony No. 1, a score whose disastrous 1897 premiere overshadowed its qualities for decades, but which today stands as a powerful and dramatic early achievement.
