Lavazza Coffee and Wagner with Maestro Gianandrea Noseda

His spirited conducting earned rave reviews last year when Maestro Gianandrea Noseda led the National Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City. How does someone breathe new life into centuries-old compositions? It takes serious dedication, unbridled passion, and a constant quest for inspiration. For Maestro Noseda, that means studying the scores of these masterful works of art, helped along with sips of Lavazza coffee. Here, the Maestro invites La Cucina Italiana into his living room for a Lavazza coffee at a home overlooking the Lago Maggiore during an Italian sojourn. He discusses his process and his love of music, and showcases how he translates what’s on the page to his role as conductor, as evidenced in a performance of Wagner’s remarkable Tristan and Isolde from the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Plus, he offers a look at his limited-edition Lavazza cups!
