Programme
Beethoven Piano Concertos 2 (Festival Strings Lucerne / Rudolf Buchbinder)
Overview

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) 

  • Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15
  • Piano Concerto No. 5 E-flat major, Op. 73

Some people think that everything has already been said about Beethoven. What else is left to be discovered? Rudolf Buchbinder sees it differently. He is firmly convinced that there is no authentic interpretation, no royal road, no ideal solution. “None of us alive today has had breakfast with Beethoven,” he says. “You can hear the Fifth Symphony led by ten great conductors. It fascinates us each time, but who knows what the ‘correct’ interpretation is?” That is precisely the secret behind why Beethoven’s music seems so inexhaustible and ever fresh. For Buchbinder himself, it is an exhilarating experience not only to play the solo part in Beethoven’s piano concertos but also to take on their musical direction. “Already after the first rehearsal, the orchestras are inspired,” he says. “Why? Because suddenly every musician has a responsibility. They have to listen to each other. What is the clarinet doing? What about the oboe? There is no one they can rely on to provide the beat. So their concentration is essentially intensified.”

Venue Info

KKL Luzern - Lucerne
Location   Europaplatz 1

KKL Luzern’s spectacular architecture designed by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel and the quality of its facilities set this venue apart from more traditional culture and convention centres. Its trade-mark is the common theme of culture, conferences and culinary choices – the complete experience orchestrated under the famous roof. The building is situated in the heart of Switzerland, only one hour by train from Zurich Airport, within walking distance of Lucerne’s finest hotels and a few sheltered steps from the international railway station. It is the perfect venue for your next premium event, such as product launches, anniversary celebrations and award ceremonies, high-profile meetings, receptions and banquets.

Concert Hall
The showpiece of the KKL Luzern is its renowned Concert Hall with 1,898 seats and acoustics that provide incredible sound and inspire the world’s leading conductors, orchestras and soloists to perform at their best.

Conventions
The outstanding Concert Hall with its multifunctional usage, is also an exciting possibility for conventions. A wide screen is hidden above the stage and may be lowered for awards, product presentations and other events. Interpreting booths and excellent infrastructure are at hand for a most memorable convention or meeting or live television broadcast.

Two water canals frame the Lucerne Hall, a venue that is also unique in its adaptability and convertible for 200 up to 1,800 guests. It can be used for a variety of settings including product presentations, congresses, concerts and banquets. With its appropriate audiovisual facilities, variable height staging and mobile rostrum, all combined with the deliberately simple design of the hall, the organizer will find creative freedom to style the event.

The Auditorium for up to 271 listeners, too, is equipped with state-of-the-art congress installations and, like the Lucerne Hall, provides an attractive setting for conferences. Event organizers are also increasingly discovering the Crystal Lounge, the attractive meeting point in the KKL Luzern. It boasts an oval-shaped bar that can be moved around the space, allowing for maximum flexibility and turning the lounge into a premier events venue.

Culinary experiences
The cuisine facilities of the KKL Luzern offer organizers and guests all kinds of catering options and total culinary experiences. Packages and offers – such as refreshing time-outs, cocktail receptions for networking, stand-up lunches, seated dinners or exclusive lounge experiences – can be tailored to the organizer’s specific needs.
