Tchaikovsky from Gottingen

From Weilburg Castle in central Germany, Nicholas Milton conducts the Gottingen Symphony Orchestra in Borodin's Polovtsian Dances and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto and Swan Lake.

From the Renaissance Court at Weilburg Castle, Nicholas Milton conducts the Gottingen Symphony Orchestra in music by Borodin and Tchaikovsky.

They begin with the dramatic Polovtsian Dances from Borodin's opera "Prince Igor" before being joined by recent Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Aleksey Semenenko for a performance of Tchaikovsky's intimate and balletic Violin Concerto. In the second half, the orchestra picks up the balletic theme with the Suite from "Swan Lake".

During the interval, you can hear recordings of Tchaikovsky String Quartet Movement in B flat and Borodin's unfinished String Sextet.
