Summary
Samy Rachid conducts the Ulster Orchestra at Ulster Hall, featuring pianist Jonathan Biss in Mozart’s Ninth Concerto alongside orchestral suites by Humperdinck and Tchaikovsky.
Why it's fantastic
Tchaikovsky wrote his most infectious melodies for the ballet, and these suites offer a concentrated dose of that vivid storytelling. Between the waltzes, pianist Jonathan Biss tackles Mozart’s first great concerto, a piece that transformed the genre from simple entertainment into a profound conversation between soloist and orchestra.
