TCHAIKOVSKY’S SYMPHONY NO. 5
Mussorgsky’s depiction of a gentle morning sunrise is juxtaposed with the vivacious work that follows—Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, known for its bursts of spontaneity and crisp expression. Andrew Staupe, praised for his immaculate technique, joins as soloist. Proving Tchaikovsky’s place as one of the Romantic era’s most gifted composers, his Symphony No. 5 takes us on a journey of haunting melodies, shocking climaxes, charming elegance, and joyful abandon.
