Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 and Anna Fedorova plays Ravel

Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4

Tchaikovsky's impressive Fourth Symphony provides an insight into the composer's life, which was not always a bed of roses. A life of alcohol, unsuccessful love and rejection. But also a life of musical successes and deep friendships. You can expect high peaks and deep valleys in this symphony, in which Tchaikovsky expresses the power of fate and delivers a beautiful bittersweet ode to his youth.

Anna Fedorova plays Ravel

In the swinging Piano Concerto in G, Ravel combined the Spanish music of his youth with the jazz that had completely captivated him during a tour through the United States. The concerto opens with a whiplash, with which Ravel announces a flood of energy. The contrast with the second part could not be greater: the dreamy, slow and almost endless melody - first in the piano alone, then so beautifully taken over by the flute in the orchestra - is expanded into an overwhelming emotional interplay between orchestra and soloist. A perfect fit for the Ukrainian piano phenomenon Anna Fedorova, who can provide this classic with new energy and depth like no other.
