Summary
Violinist Chloë Hanslip joins Mihhail Gerts and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s concerto alongside works by Pärt and Tubin at Aberdeen’s Music Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Hear one of the world’s most recognisable violin melodies, a piece so demanding it was originally branded unplayable by the era’s finest virtuosos. Chloë Hanslip takes the lead for this programme, which pairs that famous romantic fire with the haunting, minimalist stillness of Arvo Pärt’s tribute to a fellow composer.
