Tchaikovsky – Symphony No.4 in F minor, Op.36
The Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra was recently awarded the distinction of being renamed the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio, reflecting their great contribution to Russian music. Since then, they have toured the world performing definitive interpretations of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral music.
Their programme commences with Grieg’s dramatic and enduringly popular Peer Gynt Suite.
This is followed by Sibelius’ Violin Concerto; a piece demanding great virtuosity, which the multi-award winning Russian violinist, Alina Baeva, is certain to achieve.
The evening ends with Tchaikovsky’s elemental Symphony No.4 with its famous fate motif which is echoed throughout this symphonic masterpiece full of great drama and pathos.
