大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus - Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky

Live from the Barbican in London, a concert in which Semyon Bychkov conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Rachmaninov: The Bells. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 6.

Semyon Bychkov concludes the 'Beloved Friend' Tchaikovsky project with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in a performance of the great Symphony No. 6 'Path茅tique'. In part one of the concert they are joined by the 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus and superb soloists in Tchaikovsky disciple Rachmaninov's The Bells, a colourful choral symphony to texts by Edgar Allan Poe.

'All my life I have taken pleasure in the differing moods and music of gladly chiming and mournfully tolling bells', declared Rachmaninov. As he wrote The Bells he combined this obsession with his love of church chant, and his admiration for Tchaikovsky - he even booked rooms in Rome in the very same apartment that Tchaikovsky had taken thirty years before him.
