Introduction/Abstract

Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France · Sol Gabetta · Mikko Franck

BERLIOZ · SCHOSTAKOWITSCH · TSCHAIKOWSKI

Mikko Franck and his Paris orchestra serve up two substantial dishes of Russian fare: Tchaikovsky's crowning sixth symphony, the «Pathéthique»; and Shostakovich's dark and mournful Cello Concerto No. 2 featuring master cellist Sol Gabetta, who illuminates the work's shades and ambiguities.
