Tchaikovsky’s fourth & songs by Strauss

A fateful fanfare, a love that seems capable of conquering all, and orchestral music that wears its heart on its sleeve await when Philippe Jordan leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Wagner’s grand Rienzi Overture and Tchaikovsky’s fate-laden fourth symphony. In between, South African soprano Johanni van Oostrum takes centre stage in Richard Strauss’s shimmering, expansive settings of Hölderlin’s poetry. Welcome to an evening of Romanticism on the grandest scale.
