Upbeats: Episode 12 (What's so 'pathétique' about Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony?)
from Braving the Stave · host Arts Active
Jon and Haz ask some important questions about Tchaikovsky's final masterpiece, including the origins of the 'pathétique' moniker and why a Colorado conductor got the movements the wrong way round when he performed it. Is that waltz really as 'limping' as they say? How about the legend about the symphony being Tchaikovsky's 'suicide note'? And do you agree that his music is, as one critic put it, 'a veritable orgy of naked feelings?'Accompanying playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0IujonLl2lB7bfPzz71U0Z?si=-WGcX8MsSYmFj2mdXFevYg&utm_source=copy-linkSupport the showwww.artsactive.org.ukEmail [email protected] @artsactiveInstagram artsactivecardiff Facebook artsactive#classicalmusic #artsactive #drjonathanjames #bravingthestave #musicconversations #funfacts #guestspeakers #cardiff #cardiffclassical
