Tchaikovsky\u2019s widely-loved Violin Concerto is a work full of optimism, passion and high spirits, from the epic first movement, to the humorous and staggeringly virtuosic finale. With its endless abundance of melody and thrilling violin writing, it\u2019s hard to imagine how much trouble it gave its creator. The Concerto was conceived and composed in a period of profound personal crisis, just after Tchaikovsky\u2019s disastrously failed marriage in 1878, and after it was completed, Tchaikovsky suffered seemingly endless setbacks in trying to get the work performed, with its dedicatee calling it \u201cunplayable\u201d and later making myriad unwarranted cuts and changes. Such a difficult birth is hard to fathom for those of us who know it as one of the most beloved works in the repertoire. Like Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich excelled in an usual breadth of musical genres, and always seemed able to tap into the spirit of folk music. In fact, his Fourth String Quartet was composed \u201cfor the drawer\u201d with no possibility of immediate performance during the Stalinist repression of the post-WW II Soviet Union. A generation later, Shostakovich\u2019s friend and student Rudolf Barshai orchestrated the work as the Chamber Symphony opus 83a- it\u2019s a communicative and moving masterpiece that ranges from spooky stasis to tragic grandeur.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>ESO BOX OFFICE 01386 791044<\/h4>\n<h4>MALVERN TOURIST INFORMATION \u00a001684 829290<\/h4>\n<h4>info@eso.co.uk<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November\u00a0 22, 2013 Christ Church, Malvern &nbsp; Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen &nbsp; Kenneth Woods&#8211; conductor Tchaikovsky- Andante Cantabile\u00a0 (arr. 1st Quartet) Shostakovich- Chamber Symphony opus 83a (arr. 4th Quartet) -interval- Tchaikovsky- Violin Concerto Tamsin Waley-Cohen&#8211; violin &nbsp; Our 2013 Christ Church Season comes to a thrilling conclusion with an evening of Russian masterworks and a guest &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/eso-a-christ-church-tamsin-waley-cohen-thrills-with-tchaikovsky\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ESO at Christ Church- Tamsin Waley-Cohen Thrills with Tchaikovsky&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
