Swiss Summer Festivals (4/4)

The Rotterdam Philharmonic and the CBSO visit the Lucerne Summer Festival to perform two giants of the symphonic canon, plus Nicola Benedetti's Young Musican-winning Szymanowski.

Visiting orchestras to the Lucerne Summer Festival perform two giants of the symphonic canon and as this week's Our Classical Century focus, celebrating the most memorable musical moments from last century, we'll hear Nicola Benedetti's performance of Szymanowski's first violin concerto with which she won the 成人快手 Young Musician of the Year competition in May 2004.
