Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'Music is the loveliest of all Heaven's gilts to humanity. Wandering in the dark, it alone can calm and illumine the soul. It is not the straw to which a drowning man clings, but the true refuge and comforter...'

The story and music of Tchaikovsky's much-loved but still mysterious last work.
Written and presented by Roger Snowdon
with Peter Tuddenham as Tchaikovsky
