Rich in harmony and tenderness, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.1 is a highlight not to be missed of the 2019-2020 classical season in Cambridge, performed by esteemed pianist Leon McCawley.
The second half of this concert is dedicated to Tchaikovsky’s monumental Symphony No.5. Tchaikovsky’s use of the recurring Fate theme as an emotional core paints new orchestral colours in each movement with intensity and purpose. It is rightfully remembered as one of the great Romantic symphonies.
