3. Sinfoniekonzert by Grieg, Tchaikovsky, P. I., Firsova, E., Dl. 27 Nov. 2023, De (2023/2023), Director musical Lucy Leguay, Staatstheater, Darmstadt, Germany

A new saxophone quartet by Yelena Firsova, the "grande dame" of the Russian avant-garde, coupled with what is probably Tchaikovsky's most personal work, his "Pathétique". For years, Tchaikovsky exchanged letters with his wealthy patron, Nadeschda von Meck, whom he never met. She wrote to the composer: "I would like to tell you that my relationship to your music is infinitely dear to me as the most beautiful, highest of all feelings that a human being is capable of."
