The Berlin Symphony Orchestra has also included Tchaikovsky's famous violin concerto in its program—the 38-year-old composer wrote it while recovering from a nervous breakdown on Lake Geneva, caused by his unhappy marriage to Antonina Milyukova. The piece is an emotional rollercoaster ride and a manifesto of survival for a gay man. Here it is combined with the equally famous violin concertos by Max Bruch and Johannes Brahms. The soloists are Cornelia Gartemann, Marlene Ito, and Philipp Bohnen.
