Passions run high in our first Edinburgh Sunday afternoon concert of the 2017/18 season. Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Shakespeare-inspired overture depicts both a storm at sea and youthful romance with equal abandon, while his 'Path茅tique' Symphony plunges us into the depths of despair even as it soars to heights of musical intensity. Has true anguish ever sounded so ravishing? And at the heart of the concert, melancholic songs of beauty and longing from a composer who was anything but a stiff old Edwardian gent, sung here by the great Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill.
(approximate finish time: 5.00pm)
The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3
