Radio Philharmonic Orchestra: Tchaikovsky 5

Samuel Barber - Essay no.1 op.12, Aaron Copland - Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Artie Shaw - Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski - Fifth Symphony. Programme Samuel Barber Essay no.1 op.12 Aaron Copland Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra Artie Shaw Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski Fifth Symphony Hardcore romanticism, that is Tsjaikovski's Fifth Symphony in every fiber. The luxuriant orchestrations and melodic masterpieces of the Russian master reach the heart arrow-swift via the ear. From a swaggering waltz to a funeral march: Tsjaikovski strikes a sensitive chord. Comparably thrilling is Copland's jazzy Clarinet Concerto in the interpretation of Martin Fröst, the brilliant artist in residence of TivoliVredenburg. Wonderful fairy-tale world Tsjaikovski beats around no bush. As soon as the first notes of his Fifth Symphony sound, the listener is completely surrendered to the wonderful fairy-tale world of the Russian composer. With his luxuriant orchestrations and melodic overdoses, the Fifth Symphony lays claim to the title of 'most popular symphony'. Tsjaikovski's tonalities are pure seduction art, without programme or narrative. Although it is whispered that the composer saw his symphony as a tonal painting of human fate. Swinging clarinet concerto The Radio Filharmonisch Orkest welcomes a special guest. Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst is artist in residence of TivoliVredenburg. A musical athlete who continuously seeks adventure. Tonight he makes a case for Aaron Copland's Clarinet Concerto. The leading American composer wrote the concerto for jazz legend Benny Goodman. A timeless swinging concerto that is tailor-made for the energetic Martin Fröst.
