Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Featuring works by Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky & Schumann.

Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto is a perennial favourite of violinists and audiences. Vibrant and confident, ironically, it dates from a crisis-laden two years in his life after the breakdown of his disastrous marriage. Folk music and French chanson merge with dazzling fireworks in this marvellous showpiece. When the Spring Symphony burst forth in a torrent of confidence and creativity in those famous four days of "symphonic fire... sleepless nights", Schumann was still a newcomer to orchestral music; yet it possesses the most successful use of orchestral colour that he ever obtained.
