Path?tique means full of feeling. No surprises there: Tchaikovsky was a man on the edge, and all his hopes, his terrors and his passionate love of life went into his heart breaking final symphony. Some say that it takes a Russian conductor to do it justice, and Vasily Petrenko certainly won't stint on the emotion tonight. It's a long way from the Nordic cool of Sibelius' beautiful Violin Concerto, though the stunning young German violinist Augustin Hadelich (who recorded the work with the Orchestra in 2013) will strike fire from the ice in his first concert appearance with the Orchestra. Grieg's famous Peer Gynt suite gets things off to a delightful start ? tunes you've known all your life, whether you realise it or not!
