Festival Strings Lucerne

»Himmelsglanz und Donnerbass«
The harp is usually associated with heavenly sounds, which of course fits in wonderfully with Christmas. However, the Advent concert with world star Xavier de Maistre proves that the instrument has a much greater wealth of expressive possibilities.
The charismatic Frenchman has long made a name for himself as a musician who is as virtuosic as he is experimental, pushing the boundaries and repertoire of his instrument. A festive organ concerto is quickly rewritten for the harp, creating a moving new listening experience. Added to this are original compositions by Händel and Boieldieu, which showcase the immense – and unexpected – sound spectrum of his instrument: from delicately sparkling melodies to rich chords and thunderous basses. The Festival Strings Lucerne contribute a true Romantic classic with Tschaikowsky's Serenade for Strings.
