Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra – Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique

This final Tchaikovsky symphony pulls the emotions out of the listener and performer alike and with Vasily at the helm this will be an unmissable season closing. Joining the Orchestra before that, is long-time friend, Tasmin Little, who made her first recordings here in Liverpool over thirty years ago. This summer sees Tasmin hanging up her concert gowns in a farewell tour which includes this return visit to one of her favourite concert halls in the world. Based on the commedia dell’arte character, Scapino has been described as a rogue, a scoundrel and a rascal – all of which Walton weaves into the lively opener.
