Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.6

Description

Diapason d'Or - December 2017: "The Pathétique according to Teodor Currentzis trembles with authentic grandeur, with visceral intensity... He offers us one of the most fiery versions [in the discography]." It is the great masterpiece of 19th-century Russian symphonic music, essential for any respectable classical record collection. About 250 kilometers from the Perm Opera, in Siberia, where Teodor Currentzis is the director, lies the birthplace of Tchaikovsky, Votkinsk. The conductor is also a great admirer of the Russian musician and regularly conducts his music with great success all over Europe. We find, after the Violin Concerto by the same composer that he released a year ago with Patrizia Kopatchinskaja as soloist, the great Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis. His last concert, at the Basilica of Saint-Denis, as part of the Saint-Denis Festival (Bach Bério) was met with immense success.
