This concert opens with the charming Overture to Weber’s opera Euryanthe, showing off triumphant brass and heroic strings.
Dmitry Masleev performs Rachmaninov’s sublime Piano Concerto No.2, before the evening is drawn to a close by Tchaikovsky’s monumental Symphony No.6, known as the ‘Pathétique’ Symphony. The Symphony bursts with passion; Tchaikovsky himself described the piece many times in his letters as the best thing he had ever composed.
