The Geneva Chamber Orchestra begin their concert with a work by Henryk Pachulski (1859-1921). Though born in Poland, he spent most of his life in Russia, working as a pianist, composer and teacher. His Suite dedicated to the memory of Tchaikovsky was written in 1897. After this rarity, Gautier Capu莽on joins the orchestra in two celebrated cello concertos, and the programme is completed with Haydn鈥檚 鈥楬en鈥� symphony, so called because a clucking second subject in the first movement, reminded listeners of the jerky back-and-forth head motion of a walking hen.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
