Once upon a time鈥�Russia was always a land of storytellers. Why would its composers be any different? Today Ryan Wigglesworth opens that storybook and shares what comes out. There鈥檚 a witch in a hut with hen鈥檚 legs, and a lake that might harbour supernatural beings, or a whole lost city (anything鈥檚 possible in the magical sound-world of Prokofiev鈥檚 teacher Anatoly Lyadov). Things take a turn for the macabre and Death rides a general鈥檚 horse, as soprano Sophie Bevan sings Mussorgsky鈥檚 blackly comic songs. And then it鈥檚 over to Tchaikovsky, and a symphony of sorrow, joy and simply glorious melodies. 鈥淲ith desire and passion鈥� wrote Tchaikovsky on the score of his Fifth Symphony, and you鈥檙e about to hear why.
