————————————-

Sjostakovitj could also be emotional – it’s hard not to love the romantic second piano concerto’s middle movement. The Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov can certainly bring out the beauty of the music. And if you want even more, nothing beats Tchaikovsky’s Fifth symphony: where the emotions take over the whole performance! The conductor is the Finnish rising star, Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

No one cherished the Russian heritage like Tchaikovsky, “He was the most Russian of us all,” Stravinsky said. In the fifth symphony, he contains himself well most of the time but then the emotions break out and take over the whole performance. For example, the gripping clarinet solo in the first movement is transformed into a grotesque operatic character or the restrained fanfare theme in the finale that swells to enormous proportions or the long death struggle where every last drop of blood is wrung out . Curious, anyone??
