Kazuki Conducts Elgar & Tchaikovsky by Elgar, Tchaikovsky, P. I., jeu. 19 juin 2025, Du (2025/2025), Chef d'orchestre Kazuki Yamada, Symphony Hall, Birmingham, Royaume-Uni

A blazing symphony, and a stunning swansong for the cello. The Cello Concerto is one of Elgar’s last works – and one of his best. It is a gorgeously rich blend of melody and melancholy, with one of the most powerful opening bars ever written for the cello. What an absolute treat to hear Sheku Kanneh-Mason in the solo role. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony tackles fate head-on right up to its triumphant finale.
