Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Walton: Ashkenazy's favourites with Sydney Symphony

Oliver Brett, 17th May

A concert entitled “Askenazy’s Favourites” is always going to be intriguing, but perhaps more intriguing are his choices. If asked to pick what symphony Ashkenazy would choose to go in this concert, I would have thought that most people would have chosen a large-scale Romantic symphony, maybe Brahms, Rachmaninov or Mahler.
