Tchaikovsky's Second from Sydney
The term "Little Russia" sounds innocuous to our ears, even charming. But say those words to a Ukrainian, and you might just wind up with a black eye. "Little Russian" is a demeaning term for all things Ukrainian. It's also the nickname of Tchaikovsky's Second Symphony. A critic gave it the label, because it's infused with Ukrainian folk melodies. We'll hear a performance by the Sydney Symphony and conductor Hans Graf.
