Lucerne Festival Orchestra Riccardo Chailly, conductor Felix Mendelssohn Overture op. 21 Excerpts from the Incidental Music to Shakespeare‘s Midsummer Night’s Dream op. 61; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Manfred op. 58 Symphony B Minor in four images after Byron In the Overture and Incidental Music to William Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, Felix Mendelssohn brings the illustrious company of elves, lovers‘ passions and the solitude of the forest or a moonlit night to musical life. It became a model for other literary reflections in music like Peter Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony. Its four movements – or “images”, as the composer himself named them – capture the world-weariness of George Byron’s Manfred: A Dramatic Poem in music. Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra awaken the musical imagery of both works in a colorful, fresh and enchanting performance. Recorded at live at the Concert Hall of KKL Luzern Lucerne Festival, August 2017
