Desire, grief and hope
Leslie Suganandarajah conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic in Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, 'Pathétique', and music by Mahler and Emilie Mayer.
Live from Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney
Leslie Suganandarajah joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic for a programme that explores desire, grief and hope. We witness a pact with the devil in Emilie Mayer’s Faust Overture before mezzo-soprano Christa Mayer joins the orchestra for a performance of Gustav Mahler’s grief-stricken Kindertotenlieder. Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony, his last, (Pathétique) ends the programme, the fullest expression of a profoundly emotional man’s turbulence is shared with us through his music.
