Dvořák The Water Goblin
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
Beethoven Symphony No.6, ‘Pastoral’
Ariane Matiakh conductor
Diana Tischenko violin
Even a genius has to relax sometimes and when Beethoven wanted to unwind, he headed for the countryside. In his Pastoral symphony, we get to join him: green meadows, rippling brooks and the occasional thunderstorm, all crafted into one of the freshest symphonies ever written. Conductor Ariane Matiakh returns and gets things started with a supernatural thriller from Antonín Dvořák, before Tchaikovsky's ever popular Violin Concerto heats up the stage.
