'Symphony No.6 in B minor - Pathétique', Tchaikovsky |
| Performance Notes | Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra pair a classic 19th-century symphony with the world premiere of a newly completed orchestral triptych.
Premiered just days before the composers sudden death, Tchaikovskys Pathétique Symphony, with its evocative subtitle, is entangled with its authors own struggles and emotions. Its passionate outpourings meet the intricate play of proportion, density and energy in American composer Catherine Lambs mesmerising Portions Transparent/Opaque a trio of movements inspired by colour theory that move gradually from sonic expansion to collapse.
BBC co-commissiona and world premiere (Portions 2 and 3) - 'Portions Transparent / Opaque', Catherine Lamb.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. |
