Apologies for the self-promotional plug. It's not meant to be that. While I was in Lucerne, I did a very brief turn on Swiss Radio, straight after the concert, on a programme hosted by Patricia Moreno. The whole thing was a bit of a blur. A 5am start in the UK, a flight to Switzerland, an afternoon of interviews, then one of the most intense concerts I've been to in a long while, a dash as soon as the applause started to the lift that whisked me and the other journalist up to the radio studio in the hall, and then straight onto live radio – which was all in Swiss German… what a surreal experience.

Plus, here are my slightly more considered thoughts on the two concerts: http://www.classical-music.com/blog/lucerne-festival-orchestra-andris-nelsons

SRF2, the serious channel of national Swiss radio station, never has been for decades and luckily still does not broadcast in Swiss German, but in the Swiss (variety of) Standard German.
