Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony

“I’ve put my whole soul into this,“ Tchaikovsky said of his last symphony. Rachmaninoff put his genius, a famous theme, and allusions to a deal with the devil into his Rhapsody. Pianist Sergei Babayan plays it “full speed ahead to the very edge of a cliff“ (“BBC Music Magazine“).
