A concert presenting music of voyage and exploration: A blusterous sea journey from Riga to London in 1839 was the inspiration for Wagner’s opera from which the eponymous overture is taken. Similarly dramatic, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony Pathétique was his last venture into symphonic form, being premiered nine days before his death in 1893.

Richard Wagner: The Flying Dutchman, Overture
