鈥榃ith desire and passion鈥�, Tchaikovsky wrote on the score of his Fifth Symphony. It鈥檚 one of the most popular symphonies ever composed; and John Storg氓rds will bring out all its power, as well as all those unforgettable tunes.

There鈥檚 a different kind of intensity to Carl Nielsen鈥檚 brilliant and witty Flute Concerto. Completing the programme is Tchaikovsky鈥檚 very personal take on Hamlet, a rare chance to hear this compelling dramatic work.
