Switzerland's Lucerne Festival is one of the most important annual festivals of classical music in the world. Set in the rarified beauty of the lakeside town of Lucerne, where tourists come to gaze at the medieval castles and covered bridges, the Festival attracts the most acclaimed and famous classical musicians in the world. In 2003, the Festival Orchestra was conducted by the renowned Claudio Abbado, who led his expert musicians in a gorgeous performance of Mahler's second symphony, "Resurrection." Captured here in all of its visual and aural beauty, the fine performance also featured the talents of soprano Eteri Gvazava and Anna Larsson.
