DVD + Blu-Ray: Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.1 / Symphonies 2+3
The Lucerne Festival 2020 concerts featuring Martha Argerich and Herbert Blomstedt will be released on DVD + Blu-Ray in September 2021.
In August 2020, Herbert Blomstedt made his debut at the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. You could hardly tell that the maestro had celebrated his 93rd birthday only a month prior for he continuously exudes vitality, awareness, and curiosity. “I’m in love with music,” says Blomstedt, who views his profession as a kind of “joie de vivre”. Together with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Martha Argerich he revealed just what this joy sounds like with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 – the work that marked Argerich’s stage debut in 1949 - and Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3, the famous “Eroica”.
