Free Music Notes for Tchaikovsky Discovers America
Free Music Review: an excellent introduction
Hit: 4 Stars
This line of CD's is exceptional. This one ranks a little lower than the others. While my children are entertained by it, I found the story less engaging. In addition, Alex, the boy protagonist, has a tendency to be rude. It certainly doesn't fall into the usual bratty kid category that afflicts so much of current children's fare, but I was disappointed considering the other CDs are outstanding in all respects.The music is presented in manageable chunks, and everyone will recognize most of the themes/pieces. My five year old loves the excitement of the train ride and the chase scene.
It is definitely worth having in your collection, but if you're only going to buy one, try one of the others first.
Tchaikovsky Discovers America Poster
THE STORY: Tchaikovsky arrives in New York for the grand opening of Carnegie Hall in 1891. During his famous trip to Niagara Falls, he shares stories with a young family about his music, his life and his fear of conducting. In the end, both the composer and the family discover something about courage and about themselves. A poignant story of the Old World meeting the New. THE MUSIC: More than two dozen excerpts of Tchaikovsky's music -- The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, The First Piano Concerto, String Serenade and 1812 Overture. Also included is a musical mosiac of well-know American music of the time, including ragtime, sprituals and popular folk classics.Children's Music Music CDs
