Sokhiev conducts in London

Royal Festival Hall
Thu 31 Mar 2011 7:30pm

Tugan Sokhiev

conductor

Sergey Khachatryan

violin

Borodin

Polovtsian Dances (Prince Igor)

Shostakovich

Violin Concerto No. 1

Tchaikovsky

Symphony No. 5

An all-Russian evening, opening with Borodin’s spectacular Polovtsian Dances from his most famous opera Prince Igor. Shostakovich’s first Violin Concerto is often sad and searching, opening with a long nocturnal lament and featuring an intensely beautiful third movement passacaglia, in which the soloist performs against a simple timpani accompaniment. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony is equally troubled, though its emotion is expressed more dramatically, through repeated major emotional climaxes and a cruelly dominant musical 'Fate' motif, right until the symphony’s brave and triumphant ending.
