Date of change: 27 May 14 - T2067071995

St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra

Work:: St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra (S1247039943)

Production:: (T2067071995)

Distinguished Russian orchestra the St Petersburg Symphony, return to Hull City Hall for the fourth concert in our 2014-15 season. Conductor Vladimir Altschuler leads the orchestra through a trio of works by Tchaikovsky, with Japanese pianist Noriko Ogawa performing one of the composer's most popular works, his Piano Concerto No.1. The programme opens with Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, a single movement work inspired by the Shakespeare play of the same name. Considered by many to be the composers' first true masterpiece, the Overture makes full use of the sweeping string section to create layers of melody. The concert is brought to a close with a performance of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, nicknamed Pathetique' by the composer's brother (with his blessing). Premiered just over a week before Tchaikovsky's death in 1863, the piece is widely regarded as his greatest symphony and possibly even his greatest work.
