Franz Welser-Möst, conductor
SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8 (“Unfinished”)
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6 (“Pathétique”)
A two-week focus on Tchaikovsky’s masterpieces begins with his passionate, quintessentially romantic final symphony, the Pathétique, about which he wrote, “Without exaggeration, I have put my whole soul into this symphony ... I love it as I have never loved any of my other musical offspring.” Opening the program is Schubert’s enigmatic masterpiece; its two sublime movements, though perfection themselves, still mystify as to why the composer left it incomplete.
