Tchaikovsky's Romantic Violin

Who said genius had to be misunderstood? When Beethoven’s Seventh was played for the first time, the audience immediately demanded an encore! From that night in Vienna, to its recent appearance in the film The King’s Speech, Beethoven’s exuberant, perennially fresh Seventh has never stopped bringing audiences cheering to their feet. It should make a thrilling Liverpool debut for the young Korean cellist-turned-conductor Han-Na Chang, and with Glinka’s flamboyant Ruslan and Ludmilla topping the bill, and the 26-year-old Russian virtuoso Valeriy Sokolov tackling Tchaikovsky’s effervescent Violin Concerto, this should be one roof-raising celebration of youthful energy – and talent!
