Following its sell-out success with it first concert at the Italian Forum last August, the Balmain Sinfonia returns to the wonderful venue with an all-Tchaikovsky program featuring outstanding Australian cellist Georg Pedersen playing The Rococo Variations.
The Russian master’s Swan Lake Suite and his First Symphony bookend the Variations – a magnificent cello concerto in the form of variations on an original theme, written in the spirit of the composer’s ‘idol’ - Mozart.
Tchaikovsky wrote some of the world’s most memorable and most often performed ballet music: Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and, debuting at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877, Swan Lake.
The First Symp phony is said to have caused Tchaikovsky more “effort and anguish” than any other of his works.
Despite these psychological torments, the work is mostly cheerful and sweet, especially when compared
to the much darker symphonic works to come. Tchaikovsky gave the symphony the descriptive “Winter Daydreams” and its unmistakably Russian character derives from the closeness of most of its themes to the patterns and moods of Russian folk music.
Georg Pedersen is one of Australia’s foremost cello teachers and performers.
He has given well over 3000 concerts in 24 countries, as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and principal orchestra player.
