The prestigious conductor Semyon Bychkov, a mentor to Louis Langrée, leads an intense and imaginative program, opening with Tchaikovsky’s Polish Symphony, so named because of his use of the polonaise, a high-spirited Polish dance.
The Totentanz (“Dance of Death”), whose dark drama and pianistic fireworks provide a showcase for Bertrand Chamayou’s technical wizardry, reflects Liszt’s fascination with all things macabre. Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini and its sensual depiction of soaring passion between two ill-fated lovers brings the program to a rapturous end.
