Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.5 is the epitome of the composer’s views concerning life, fate, joy and sadness, its strong colors providing the audience with a truly satisfying aesthetic experience. Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins is probably the most celebrated work in this genre of all time: its Baroque style, verve, elegance and perfection are well-loved by all, its counterpoint providing exquisite melodies and counter-melodies, making it a fitting companion to Tchaikovsky’s symphonic tome.
