Kirill Petrenko, Yuja Wang, Berliner Philharmoniker
In their first joint concert at the Lucerne Festival, the Berliner Philharmoniker and their designated chief conductor Kirill Petrenko started in the world of Persian fairy-tales with Paul Dukas’s ballet score to La Péri and were later joined by the Chinese hypervirtuosa Yuja Wang in Sergei Prokofiev’s most popular Piano Concerto, the spirited No. 3. The fantastic concert night concluded with Franz Schmidt’s Symphony No. 4, which includes elegiac laments, a wide-ranging funeral march, and, at the end, a celebration of farewell: “a dying in beauty,” as Schmidt said, “with the whole of one’s life passing in review.”
