Some of Wiltshire and Swindon's finest musicians rise to the challenge of this exciting all-Russian programme. Mussorgsky's iconic masterpiece explodes with wild abandon as witches, sorcerers and evil spirits gather for a night of pagan revelry. In the last movement of Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto an 'argument' develops between the soloist and orchestra that builds to a blazingly virtuosic coda. Initially received with silent incomprehension, Tchaikovsky's Pathétique, with its overwhelming emotional content has become one of his best loved works.
