Tchaikovsky’s Fifth
Unforgettable melodies paired with unstoppable emotion.
Bacewicz Overture (6’)
R Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1 (16’)
Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 (47’)
Delyana Lazarova conductor
Felix Klieser horn
“With desire and passion" wrote Tchaikovsky on the score of his Fifth Symphony, and he really meant it. All of his genius for melody went into this sweeping sonic autobiography – a musical journey from sorrow to joy, told in tunes that burn themselves onto your heart. No such worries for the teenage Richard Strauss: after all, when your dad’s the world’s greatest horn player, writing a Horn Concerto is the ultimate bit of family fun. Expect wit, poetry and pure high spirits as conductor Delyana Lazarova joins forces with the incredible Felix Klieser - a horn player who’s become a byword for inspiration.
“Conducted with lightness and clarity, resulting in an unfussy and exciting performance.”Seen and Heard International Sep 2015
