Summary
Thomas Søndergård conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Dundee’s Caird Hall, featuring Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony and pianist Vadym Kholodenko in Szymanowski’s Symphonie concertante.
Why it's fantastic
Tchaikovsky wrote his fifth symphony to prove he could still master his art, weaving a haunting recurring theme that transforms from a gloomy funeral march into a triumphant finale. It remains one of the most relatable portraits of human emotion, preceded here by a fleeting, light-drenched spring miniature by Lili Boulanger.
