Conductor: Zoltán Kocsis Featuring Yevgeni Nesterenko – bass R. Strauss: Death and Transfiguration, op. 24 Mussorgsky: Songs and Dances of Death (orchestrated by István Kerekes) Tchaikovsky: Symphony no. 6 in B minor („Patetique”), op. 74 Singing about death: an adventure that has attracted composers like a magnet. Richard Strauss mentioned it on his death bed: „Curiously, dying is rather like when I was composing my Death and Transfiguration.” Between 1875 and 1877, Mussorgsky wrote hi...s song cycle investigating death – of children, youngsters, from alcoholism and war – which he depicts lyrically but with astounding realism. In the second half of this concert, we hear the darkest of Tchaikovsky’s six symphonies – nine days after its world premiere, the composer committed suicide.
