On the programme: Edward Elgar: Cello Concerto and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: 4th Symphony: This work is one of the highlights of Tchaikovsky's output! In a highly autobiographical effort, the composer not only sets his own psychological distress to music, but also addresses the whole of humanity. This violence can be found in the description of despondency and revolt, as well as in the paroxysms of the finale of Gustav Mahler's 6th Symphony. In this powerful work, written in a single draft and premiered the following February 1 in Moscow under the baton of Nicolai Rubinstein, we feel the full weight of the "fatum", which makes it perhaps even more pathetic than the famous 6th Symphony of the same name.
