Tchaikovsky wrote his captivating Violin Concerto on holiday by Lake Geneva with the young student he hoped would premiere it.

Tonight, Tchaikovsky’s heartfelt outpouring of melody is in the hands of outstanding soloist James Ehnes. In the words of The Guardian’s reviewer, Ehnes’ most recent performance with the Philharmonia ‘achieved a level of perfection. . .that puts him in a class of his own’.

Conductor Paavo Järvi, a long-standing favourite with the Philharmonia’s musicians and audiences alike, pairs the Tchaikovksy with Prokofiev’s Sixth Symphony, composed in 1947.

Prokofiev told a friend that the symphony was his response to the devastation caused by World War II: ‘Now we are rejoicing in our great victory, but each of us has wounds that cannot be healed’.

The dark emotions of the first two movements are swept away, though, by a cheerful finale that brings to mind Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, full of dancing string melodies, whistling woodwind and bold timpani.

To open, Järvi has chosen Debussy’s lush and sensual evocation of a faun enjoying a sun-dappled afternoon. Its dreamy, improvisatory flute melodies transport us to a world of fantasy and pleasure.
