In this program, Charles Hazlewood addresses Tchaikovsky’s final work—and what many regard as his greatest achievement: Symphony no. 6 in B Minor (Pathétique), which premiered only days before his death. After conducting the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in a complete performance of the monumental first movement, Charles Hazlewood thoroughly explicates each of that movement’s constituent parts: the introduction, the first and second themes, and the development, recapitulation, and final sections. Produced by the Open University. (58 minutes)
