BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, CBSO, Nelsons

Presented by Petroc Trelawny. Andris Nelsons conducts the CBSO in Tchaikovsky and Strauss.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny. CBSO under Andris Nelsons in Tchaikovsky: The Voyevoda. Strauss: Oboe Concerto (soloist - Rainer Gibbons). Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 6 (Pathetique).

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Andris Nelsons conducts the CBSO in Tchaikovsky's Voyevoda and PathÃ©tique Symphony; Rainer Gibbons is soloist in Strauss' elegiac Oboe Concerto.

The symphonic ballad The Voyevoda is one of Tchaikovsky's least-known works, perhaps because the composer himself tended to under-rate it. But in the PathÃ©tique Symphony, he threw his all into this no-holds-barred musical autobiography; the result is a symphony that blends raw emotion and glorious melody to devastating effect. 
Between these two pieces by Tchaikovsky, the CBSO's section leader oboe offers a moment of tranquility with Strauss's gentle concerto.
