Tchaikovsky: Andrei Bondarenko & Gary Matthewman
27 October 2017, 7:30pm 24 December 2024 - 5:18am
As part of our day exploring Russian song and the Russian Revolution, which came to an end 100 years ago almost to the day, we welcome the Ukrainian baritone Andrei Bondarenko, winner of the Song Prize at the 2011 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. He performs songs by Rubinstein, Sviridov and Rachmaninov, before a second half comprising only Tchaikovsky songs: almost the Russian equivalent of a ‘Schubertiade’.
