Tchaikovsky's Pathétique

Prepare to be captivated by an evening of dramatic contrasts and breathtaking musicality in this concert film featuring Tchaikovsky's Pathétique. The journey begins with a playful wink as Richard Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks bursts onto the scene – a delightful musical portrait of a mischievous folk hero, showcasing the unexpected humor of a brilliant composer. Following this lighthearted start, experience the soaring virtuosity of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto, performed by the exceptional young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich. Hear the echoes of Hollywood grandeur in this adventurous concerto, woven with themes from Korngold’s iconic film scores *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper*. The program culminates in a powerfully moving performance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique), conducted by Gábor Káli. Witness the raw emotion and profound depth of this monumental work, famously known by a mistranslated nickname – a poor reflection of the true meaning of the Russian word "patetitcheskaja," meaning "passionate." Tchaikovsky poured his heart and soul into this symphony, a testament to his extraordinary genius. Don't miss this unforgettable concert experience!
