Tchaikovsky's Path茅tique Symphony from the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra

Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings including a performance of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 from the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra.

Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a performance of Tchaikovsky's passionate Symphony No. 6, the 'Path茅tique'. This deeply emotional and unconventional work is performed by the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Sakari Oramo as part of a week long celebration of the composer.

Elsewhere in the programme, we will hear exclusive chamber music recorded at London's Wigmore Hall. Today, clarinettist Martin Frost joins forces with the Leonkoro Quartet to play Brahms and the ORA Singers sing music by Bob Chilcott, Michael Cavendish and Thomas Morley. There is also an artist spotlight on the French soprano Veronique Gens as she sings music by Charles Gounod.
