Orchestre De Chambre De Lausanne, Joshua Weilerstein - Stravinsky: Apollon Musag�te, Concerto In D, Pulcinella

Igor Stravinsky inaugurated the era of musical neoclassicism with a sensational success. His Pulcinella continues to be uncommonly popular even today, primarily as a suite from the ballet of the same name � which makes this virtuosicorchestral piece the perfect choice for this fascinating MDG debut program featuring Joshua Weilerstein, the new principal conductor of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne. Apollon musag�te and the rarely heard Concerto in D offer additional highly interesting insights into this important period in the great Russian composer�s oeuvre.With Joshua Weilerstein the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne has truly passed the torch to a new generation. The young conductor follows in big footsteps, but continuity on the highest level is also a sure bet: after the pianist Christian Zacharias another outstanding instrumentalist, this time aviolinist, has assumed the conducting duties with this renowned Swiss orchestra.
