Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto no 1 in B-flat minor (op 23)

Live from the City Halls in Glasgow, starting the Glasgow "Alive with Music" weekend, the BBC SSO kicks off with a night of unbridled passion in an evening of works by Tchaikovsky, The programme includes three of his greatest and most popular works, with the BBC SSO conducted by Alexander Titov, and the very highly regarded Russian pianist Dmitri Alexeev as piano soloist.

The Fantasy Overture 'Romeo and Juliet' depicts Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers in music of drama and huge energy, while the composer himself described the inexorable tread of his Fifth Symphony as "a complete resignation before fate". In between, one of the most popular concertos in the entire piano repertoire - a virtuoso showpiece famously rejected by its dedicatee, Nikolai Rubinstein, who later become one of its most passionate champions.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
