🎼 “With his #sympathy for the contradictions and the shortcomings of #human nature, #Vysotsky is a reminder that the best #Russian #culture is so often found on the margins, positioning itself at an angle to the #orthodoxies required by those in #power.”

For #composers in the 19th century, the pages of the One Thousand and One Nights were a #portal to a new imaginative world: a place where fantastic stories and exotic images inspired sounds more sensuous, more colourful and more magical than anything that had been heard before. #Ravel and #RimskyKorsakov both drew inspiration from the tales of the beautiful #Scheherazade, hear their immersive stories at the @bbc_proms this Thursday.

🎻 #Tchaikovsky’s final #symphony, premiered just nine days before the composer’s death in 1893, is a #subversion of #symphonic form, and the #culmination of Tchaikovsky’s #musical exploration of the inexorability of fate. Its emotional range and depth make it one of the #masterpieces of the #19thcentury. Tchaikovsky himself described it as ‘the best thing I ever composed or shall compose’.
Hear it at the @cadoganhall as performed by #LondonPhoenixOrchestra this week on July 29th at 7:30. #Booknow while tickets are still available - link in bio 🤫
