Wigmore Hall Glinka: A Farewell to St Petersburg Tchaikovsky: A tear trembles; To forget so soon; The fires in the rooms were already out; None but the lonely heart; It was in early spring; The fearful moment; Frenzied nights; Death; We sat together; Whether the day reigns Ekaterina Semenchuk (mezzo-soprano) Semyon Skigin (piano) To the Wigmore Hall for an evening of magnificently old-school vocal performance from Ekaterina Semenchuk.

We know, for instance, that the idea for a symphonic fantasy on the theme of Romeo and Juliet was suggested by Mily Balakirev, and Hamlet, another Shakespeare play that became the basis for a symphonic poem, was recommended by Tchaikovsky's brother Modest.
