No composer ever opened his heart as eloquently as Tchaikovsky - especially in his final “Pathétique” symphony, a work of devastating emotional honesty. His Violin Concerto set new standards for impassioned virtuosity. Gold medalist of the 2007 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Mayuko Kamio brings this beloved work to life.
