Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Bruckner

Alpesh Chauhan conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in music by Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Bruckner.

Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 has been described as one of the most majestic (and moving) experiences in all of Romantic art. Tonight it crowns this concert from City Halls in Glasgow. It is preceded by equally heartfelt music by Tchaikovsky, his symphonic poem 'Fatum', and the evening opens with a pair of lushly operatic Intermezzi from two of Puccini's most tuneful operas.
