Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique'

The Âé¶¹Éç Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Delyana Lazarova perform Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 and are joined by Duo Játékok for Mendelssohn's Concerto for Two Pianos in A flat.

With its sweeping melodies and raw emotion, Tchaikovsky’s famous Pathétique Symphony is a powerful exploration of love, loss and fate. It’s music that speaks from the heart, and with the Âé¶¹Éç Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Principal Guest Conductor Delyana Lazarova’s baton, every note tells a story.

But first, Duo Játékok - the French piano duo with a name inspired by playfulness - lights the touchpaper on a firecracker of a double concerto, composed by teenage genius Felix Mendelssohn on a mission to astonish the world.

Presented by Kate Molleson, live from Glasgow's City Halls.
