Alpesh Chauhan was somewhat anxious on the evening his parents came to listen as he conducted Bruckner. They had only recently discovered classical music. Would they appreciate the majestic structures of his favorite composer? But afterwards, his father enthusiastically entered his dressing room and compared the symphony to a ride on the Orient Express.

An impressive train that never stops. And so, Maestro Chauhan recommends to you: sit back, let yourself be carried away, and enjoy the beautiful vistas from Bruckner's First Symphony, which he himself called "das kecke Beserl," or "the cheeky girl." Before the intermission, top violinist Simone Lamsma shines in the fire and ice of Sibelius' famous Violin Concerto. The orchestra opens with one of Bruckner's greatest idols, Richard Wagner. His overture, Der fliegende Holländer, is a symphonic delight.
