About This Event

Tchaikovsky was no stranger to unhappiness in love, and his symphonic fantasy Francesca da Rimini allows us to eavesdrop on his pain in heart-rending autobiographical detail as the composer retells Dante鈥檚 tale of a noblewoman鈥檚 infidelity and subsequent casting into Hell. For their Prom, Vasily Petrenko and his Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plunge us deep into Tchaikovsky鈥檚 signature emotional turmoil after moonlit Debussy, Charles Ives鈥檚 own foray into American Impressionism and Ravel鈥檚 enthralling, jazz-inspired Piano Concerto under the fingers of the ferociously talented Denis Kozhukhin.
