Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Kirill Karabits conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5, with Peter Jablonski as soloist in Scriabin's Piano Concerto. The concert begins with Béatrice et Bénédict, the overture by Berlioz inspired by Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
The Piano Concerto is one of Scriabin's earlier works, technically demanding, but in a romantic idiom full of charm and filigree fingerwork reminiscent of Chopin.
Tchaikovsky found himself briefly free from the catalogue of personal crises in the late 1880s, and his Fifth Symphony reflects this with moments of comfort and warmth. Dazzling shafts of bright optimism are cast like lightning bolts from the brooding orchestral shadows.
