Pathétique
Visão geral
Introdução
Nemanja Radulovic | Krystof Urbanski | Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana
The Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulović is often celebrated as the "rock star of classical music" for his sparkling stage presence. He is regarded as a crossover artist between classical virtuosity and Eastern European folk music, which he will also demonstrate as the soloist in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.
Today it is hard to imagine that this radiant violin concerto full of confidence was the answer to a serious life crisis. In 1877, he married Antonina Milyukova - not out of love, but to put an end to rumors about his homosexuality. The marriage ended after just eleven weeks and Tchaikovsky suffered a mental breakdown. He was saved by Nadezhda von Meck, a wealthy widow who provided him with the financial means to flee to Switzerland, where he composed the violin concerto.
It was the beginning of an extraordinary relationship: they exchanged over 1,200 letters for 13 years without ever meeting in person. In 1890, von Meck ended their friendship abruptly and without explanation - a mystery that tormented Tchaikovsky to the end. The tragic mood of his Symphony No. 6 ("Pathétique") can be interpreted as an echo of this painful separation and as musical testimony to his final isolation. A work on the precipice, completed shortly before his death.
