Philharmonia Orchestra perform Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini

Grieg's towering Piano Concerto sits alongside Tchaikovsky's tragically beautiful symphonic fantasy. A tale of love, loss and revenge inspired by the ill-fated beauty of Dante's Divine Comedy, Francesca da Rimini, who fell in love with the brother of her cruel husband only to both be condemned to hell, forever tormented by the memory of the joys they had shared in life. Bernstein's score for the 1954 film, On the Waterfront, follows Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, a longshoreman who defies the corrupt union bosses who control the docks of New York.
