Here, Tchaikovsky’s riveting opening is followed by a tender, elegiac slow movement; the lively string-playing in the sparkling third movement is followed by a triumphant finale.
This symphony was a turning point for Tchaikovsky’s writing, combining Western musical styles with Russian fables and storytelling. This is the high point of Russian Romanticism, with the breadth of human experience in glorious evidence. Chief Conductor Simone Young draws out all the passion and colour of this immortal work.

For Prokofiev’s Sinfonia Concertante, Simone Young reunites with long-time collaborator Alban Gerhardt. A superstar cellist at the peak of his powers, Gerhardt extracts every moment of expressive richness from this piece, revelling in its phenomenal range that moves from resonant bass notes to melodies that soar high above the orchestra. Not just a brilliant virtuoso, Gerhardt is unbelievably charismatic, making deep and intimate connections with audiences everywhere he goes. You’ll understand why he is regarded as one of the world’s musical greats.
