About this concert
The Essentials Series introduces you to the masterpieces every music lover should know, performed by the Concertgebouw Orchestra and given a lively introduction by the incomparable Vincent Verelst.
In his Fifth Symphony, Pyotr Tchaikovsky bared his Russian soul. The work begins with a plaintive theme that continuously reappears in the music. But this symphony is more than doom and gloom: Tchaikovsky’s Fifth spans a wide range of emotions. And this symphony offers a splendid sampling of the composer’s versatility: he alternates his sense of melody, his gift for ballet music, and his love of folk melodies.
