Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 in B minor, ‘Pathétique’
91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Ilan Volkov (conductor)
Ilan Volkov and the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra pair a classic 19th-century symphony with the world premiere of a newly completed orchestral triptych. Premiered just days before the composer’s sudden death, Tchaikovsky’s ‘Pathétique’ Symphony, with its evocative subtitle, is entangled with its author’s own struggles and emotions. Its passionate outpourings meet the intricate play of proportion, density and energy in American composer Catherine Lamb’s mesmerising Portions Transparent/Opaque – a trio of movements inspired by colour theory that move gradually from sonic expansion to collapse.
