Desire, grief and hope

Leslie Suganandarajah conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, 'Path茅tique', and music by Mahler and Emilie Mayer.

Live from Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney

Leslie Suganandarajah joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for a programme that explores desire, grief and hope. We witness a pact with the devil in Emilie Mayer鈥檚 Faust Overture before mezzo-soprano Christa Mayer joins the orchestra for a performance of Gustav Mahler鈥檚 grief-stricken Kindertotenlieder. Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Sixth Symphony, his last, (Path茅tique) ends the programme, the fullest expression of a profoundly emotional man鈥檚 turbulence is shared with us through his music.
