Eighteenth-Century Tchaikovsky

Charles Hazlewood explores two of Tchaikovsky's 18th century-inspired works - the Rococo Variations and the orchestral suite Mozartiana.

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic and cellist Robert Cohen to explore two of Tchaikovsky's 18th century-inspired works - the Rococo Variations and the orchestral suite Mozartiana. Tchaikovsky's music appears to embody the romantic passions and storms of the his age, but the composer himself often took solace reflecting idealistically on the sensibilities of the 18th century and in particular on his beloved Mozart.
