Symphony No 5 in E minor Op 64 - Pyotr Tchaikovsky
The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra is one of Russia’s leading orchestras. At the very heart of its repertoire lies Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony – a journey from dark and brooding tragedy to an overwhelming sense of energy and fulfilment. Young British violinist Chloë Hanslip takes centre stage for the clean, pulsating lines of Philip Glass’s unforgettable Violin Concerto.
Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall, says of tonight’s recommended concert: Philip Glass is one of America’s best-known living composers. His Violin Concerto is a Classic FM favourite. The second movement in particular manages to be both haunting and moving at the same time.
6.15pm Pre-concert talk with Lyndon Jenkins.
