Pay tribute to the genius of Tchaikovsky with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this concert featuring some of his most celebrated works, opening with one of his great showpieces, Marche Slave. Tchaikovsky's immortal Piano Concerto No. 1 is arguably the best-known of all romantic keyboard concertos, with its soaring opening melody supported by massive piano chords and a thrilling finale. This is followed by Cappricio Italien, a piece inspired by a trip the composer took to Rome and excerpts from the much-loved Nutcracker, before concluding with the splendours of the 1812 Overture, a vivid celebration of Napoleon's historic retreat from Moscow in that year.| 8 May 11 | Royal & Derngate Northampton, Northamptonshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
