Maestro Bramwell Tovey cond?cts an all-Tchaikovsky program, feat?ring the remarkable, powerf?l and emotional Pathétique Symphony, an ode to the power of fate, with its bea?tif?l, spine-tingling ending that fades away into a s?blime nothingness. Brilliant cellist Johannes Moser performs the Rococo Variations for cello and orchestra, and the concert begins with the Polonaise from Tchaikovsky’s opera, E?gene Onegin.
The Musically Speaking series takes the mystery out of the music. Conductors take you inside the music with informative, fascinating, sometimes surprising— and always entertaining— commentary from the podium about the composers and their music. Video screens on either side of the stage take you closer to the extraordinary musicians with close-ups of all the action.
