César Franck: Le chasseur maudit
Sergei Rahmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (change 2.11.)
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6
In César Franck’s symphonic poem a nobleman, defying the Sunday regulations, is besieged by demons during his hunt – the hunter becomes the hunted. Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s last work is not only the most emotive symphony of all time, but also the composer’s poignant farewell to life. British pianist Sir Stephen Hough, renowned for his elegant interpretations, makes much-anticipated visit to Lahti.
