Tchaikovsky's Sixth

Wed 7 Nov 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Talented young French conductor Ludovic Morlot makes a quick return to the CBSO following his debut in May, for two performances of Tchaikovsky’s tumultuous final symphony. Never out of fashion since its premiere just a few days before the composer’s death, the Pathétique is one of music’s most personal utterances, a vivid portrayal of the composer’s state of mind that offers a rollercoaster emotional journey from elation to despair. Bartók’s music is altogether less unhinged, though his energetic Second Piano Concerto is an equally thrilling experience in concert. Dvorák’s tuneful overture begins the programme in exuberant style.
There will be a Bequest Patrons’ reception prior to the concert on 7 November.
