Last Night of… – Buniatishvili & LSO
Symphony Concert
Saturday, 2 September 2017
7.30 pm, Gstaad Festival Tent
Gianandrea Noseda looks to the East to close this year’s 61st edition of the Gstaad Menuhin Festival. For those of you who didn’t know it, he worked as the principal guest conductor for the Mariinksy Theatre Orchestra in St. Petersburg (which was also present at the festival last year) at the beginning of his career. In addition to Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony he will conduct the LSO in Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto, which will be performed by one of the Gstaad public’s favorite artists: Khatia Buniatishvili. And what better way to close this year’s festival with its theme of pomp and grandiloquence than with Elgar’s celebrated “Pomp and Circumstance” march… which everyone at the concert will sure to be humming until late into the night!
