Description
Join important American conductor Robert Spano in a revival of Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable Fifth Symphony. If Beethoven’s Fifth represents Fate knocking at the door, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth is Fate trying to get out. As intensely dramatic as any of his other major works, the Fifth portrays a triumphant struggle against fate and demonstrates why Tchaikovsky was one of the Romantic era's finest composers.
It is said Ravel saw the world through the eyes of a child, and his Mother Goose Suite is a perfect encapsulation of that perspective, featuring a lightness of touch that delights the mind and senses. Grieg’s Piano Concerto is a perfect vehicle for pianistic virtuosity featuring an array of color and moods that will sparkle in the hands of pianist Stephen Hough.
