Passion beyond measure … ‘Pathétique’ means ‘full of feeling’ and there’s still no better description of the unchained melodies and raw emotion of Tchaikovsky’s extraordinary final symphony. But the same goes for every note of this concert from conductor Pablo González, whether it’s Verdi’s epic drama of love and jealousy in ancient Egypt, or the heartfelt beauty and musical fireworks of Bruch’s hugely popular First Violin Concerto. According to Classic FM, it’s Britain’s favourite romantic violin concerto, and with the ‘soaring and entrancing’ (Bachtrack) Alena Baeva as the soloist, we think you’ll hear why today.
