The Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under its Principal conductor James Gaffigan made its local debut in a Nuova Harmonia concert at the Coliseo.

The Lucerne Symphony is in residence at a building designed by Jean Nouvel and inaugurated in 1998 called the Culture and Congress Center. The orchestra is the oldest in Switzerland, founded in 1806. Except for Mengelberg it hasn´t had starry names as Principal Conductors, and if its roster is the one printed in the hand programme, it is a small orchestra of only 65 players. Notwithstanding this, the sound was full and satisfying, though of course they didn´t play works of heavy orchestration (I don´t think it´s […]
