Rouvali conducts Tchaikovksy's 6th & Nelson

Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 and Daniel Nelson's 'Steampunk Blizzard', composed in 2016. Tchaikovsky’s bittersweet symphony embodies the essence of passion and sentiment, with emotions as naked as a bare soul. The work, known as the 'Pathétique', is the last symphony Tchaikovsky ever completed, and indeed the last of Tchaikovsky's compositions premiered only a few months before his death in 1893. A wonderful contrast is provided by Daniel Nelson's composition 'Steampunk Blizzard', which evokes the chugging away of a fantastical steam contraption, and takes us on a musical rollercoaster ride.
