Free Music Notes for Tchaikovsky: Complete Suites for Orchestra
Free Music Review: The lighter side of the Russian master
Hit: 4 Stars
To many, Tchaikovsky is known as a composer of two types of music. First are his orchestral works like his six symphonies and numerous symphonic poems and concertos that are generally serious in tone and evoking themes ranging from traged to drama to melancholy. Second are his ballet music which are light and happy. But Tchaikovsky also composed these four orchestral suites; full-length orchestral works that are light in heart and fast in spirit. Generally unknown to all but the biggest fans of Russian classical music, they sound more in the Classical mold of Mozart and Haydn than the Russian Romance mold of Rubinstein, Glazunov, Borodin, and many of Tchaikovsky's more famous works. All four works are long, and are stand-alone pieces; not meant to accompany any visual display or stage act. All four works are also great listening. This 2-disc set is the only one I have encountered that has all four suites, and is a great buy for its price. The sound recording is also great.
Tchaikovsky: Complete Suites for Orchestra Poster
Newly remastered in fine sound, and reissued at a two-for-one price, these discs offer the finest ever recordings of Tchaikovsky's four delicious orchestral suites. Of the major orchestral works, these pieces have been mostly dismissed and neglected--shamefully so, as they contain some very fine music. Once in a while someone trots out the finale of the Third Suite, or the Fourth (based on music by Mozart) gets a little exposure, but that's about it. The reason is simple: none of these works is an emotional heavyweight--they really reflect nothing more than the composer's desire to make some pretty music. For most listeners, that will be reason enough to want to hear them. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
