Perth Concert Series: Tchaikovsky's Fifth - BBC SSO Perth Concert Series by Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, P. I., Tveitt, pi 23 feb 2024, Od (2024/2024), Dirigent Tabita Berglund, Concert Hall, Perth, United Kingdom

About this concert No composer does emotion quite like Tchaikovsky. “With desire and passion”, he wrote on the score of his Fifth Symphony, and it begins in melancholy and ends in roof-raising celebration. No wonder it’s one of the most popular symphonies ever composed - and conductor Tabita Berglund will bring out its raw power as well as all those unforgettable tunes. It’s a stirring climax to a concert that begins with a haunting folksong from the fjords of Norway, and stars the great Truls Mørk in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto: music of heartfelt tenderness and epic grandeur. Some say it was inspired when the composer saw Niagara Falls – but decide for yourself today.
