Big day like Christmas requires big choice of repertoire :-) The first, Puccini, very Italian-hearted, makes the Orchestra sing like opera singers; the second is Rachmaninov's Russian fire, intense but always with hidden tension; the last is the last symphony ever composed by Tchaikowsky, so it is both a flashback and a statement of his view over life; I leave the job of understanding whether it is a positive or hopeless view to you :-)
Merry Christmas!
