Mozart Overture to Marriage of Figaro
Elgar Cello Concerto in E Minor
Sebastian Baverstam, violoncello
Tchaikovsky Symphony no. 6 in B Minor (“Pathétique”)
Mozart’s quicksilver favorite is followed by Elgar’s masterpiece, played by a prodigious talent at the beginning of what is sure to be an incredible career. Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique was written at the end of his life, and it is without a doubt one of the most powerfully emotional symphonies in the repertoire.
