Harrowing and compelling music. Nine days before he died, Tchaikovsky conducted the premiere. The symphony acts almost like a 'Will and Testament' from minor key rage to quiet, melancholy acceptance.
From its first low bassoon notes, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Symphony No. 6, his impassioned final statement in this form, presents us with a serious attempt to communicate something of the complexity of the inner life. It rewards close attention.
