Description: | Is there any music more instantly recognisable and beautifully
scored than Tchaikovskyâ??s wildly popular ballet Swan Lake? These
and other works have become enduring classics, yet they were not
uncontroversial in Tchaikovskyâ??s day, and there are those that still
wonder if his style is fundamentally European or ardently Russian.
Find out more about Tchaikovskyâ??s childhood obsession with music,
his turbulent relationships with friends and colleagues, and how he
overcame the deepest of personal crises to transcend all with a
creative ambition that has left us with some of the greatest music
ever written. The narrative is illustrated with musical excerpts from
Piano Concerto No. 1, Symphonies Nos. 4 and 6, the 1812 Overture,
The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, among others. - ..
