ln 2014, aII signs pointed to a new beginning at the Lucerne FestivaI. For the first time, the festivaI wouId take pIace without the incomparable CIaudio Abbado, with the young Latvian Andris NeIsons leading the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. NeIsons had already won the trust and respect of both listeners and performers in a moving memoriaI concert for Abbado in Lucerne. He is known internationalIy as one of the most gifted conductors of his generation. Now he was poised to Iead the prestigious festival into a new era he briIliantly mastered this "greatest challenge" (as he himself caIled it) of his career. The audience and the musicians responded with heartfeIt gratitude. "He is aware of every singIe pIayer and carries us on an unbelievable wave of enthusiasm", according to concertmaster Sebastian Breuninger. SoIo violist Wolfram Christ adds, "Nelsons accepts what is inherent in our orchestra and what comes from Abbado; he builds on it and makes it into something new." |
