Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6

Pyotr Tchaikovsky probes the depths of the human soul in his Sixth Symphony. The subtitle 'Pathétique' indicates its tragic character, which is particularly moving in the slowly fading final episode. Tchaikovsky himself considered the Sixth his best work, but he died shortly after its completion. The 'Pathétique' is widely regarded as the peak of Tchaikovsky's symphonic oeuvre.

Essentials starts at 9 p.m. with an imaginative introduction to the programme (in Dutch).
