| Cadogan Hall, London, London SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom Tuesday 5-Oct-10 07:30pm A Tchaikovsky Celebration Even though Tchaikovsky's musical output consisted of many romantic and memorable orchestral works, his equally well-crafted opera scores are often less well-remembered. The Polonaise from his opera Eugene Onegin is a fine example of his gift for this genre and is a perfect opener to this concert. His Violin Concerto was dismissed and regarded as unplayable and awkward; the Concerto's dedicatee even refused to perform the work. Tchaikovsky thankfully stuck to his laurels and this Concerto has become a firm favourite for the concert platform. Though Tchaikovsky was experencing great emotional pain while writing his 'Pathetique' Symphony, it arguably still remains his dramatic and most inspired work. Tickets £10-£35. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Friday 6-May-11 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra The terrified 19-year-old Shostakovich could not eat, drink, or sleep the night before his First Symphony received its premiere in 1926. It was a wild success, with the Leningrad audience demanding a reprise of the Scherzo. "When our handsome young composer appeared," wrote his mother, "looking almost like a little boy, the enthusiasm turned into one long thunderous ovation." (Just two years later, Leopold Stokowski and The Philadelphia Orchestra presented the work's acclaimed United States premiere.) Maestro Kurt Masur, the much-decorated former music director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, and the London Philharmonic, juxtaposes Shostakovich's exuberant first symphonic effort with Tchaikovsky's last--the somber, hyperbolically tragic Sixth Symphony completed just weeks before the composer's untimely and still-mysterious death. | ||
