Sarah Walker presents the second of four concerts of songs by Tchaikovsky and his influences from the 成人快手 Radio 3 Big Chamber Day at Saffron Hall in Essex. The Big Chamber Day, curated by pianist Anna Tilbrook, features soprano Anush Hovhannisyan, mezzo Caitlin Hulcup, tenor Alessandro Fisher and bass-baritone Ashley Riches. Today's concert is Tchaikovsky and the Poets, with Tchaikovsky's own settings of Goethe and Heine alongside Pushkin and Tolstoy set by Rachmaninov and Rimsky-Korsakov, and Benjamin Britten's cycle Winter Words, setting Thomas Hardy - a poet born the same year as Tchaikovsky (1840) with a similar penchant for melancholy.
