The Tchaikovsky Experience
After 1.00pm/6.00 R3 Tchaikovsky's life was punctuated by black bouts of depression, and although there is much that is abundantly joyful in his music there are also works that reflect his melancholia. His opera Eugene Onegin has a sad and yearning heart, and is based on Pushkin's verse drama about a cynical aristocrat who comes to regret that he once spurned the love of a naive country girl, Tatyana. Today's recording features the suitably brooding Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky as Onegin. And in Symphony at Six there's the first of this week's complete cycle of Tchaikovsky's symphonies: Winter Daydreams. David Gillard
