Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
Under the leadership of its chief conductor Jonathan Nott, The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande presents an exuberant programme in which grandeur abounds. Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is a masterpiece awash with mesmerising melodies and pianistic fireworks. For this exciting combination of raw energy and intimacy, superstar Khatia Buniatishvili is the dream soloist. For Tchaikovsky’s Concerto, this recent revelation regularly shares the stage with leading orchestras, of which Orchestre de la Suisse Romande is certainly one. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, whose subtitle ‘Eroica’ is no coincidence, is also an heroic balancing act between courage and doubt. Beethoven’s big breakthrough nevertheless culminates in a triumphant closing passage that will continue to resonate for a long time.
