Few composers have stood the test of time as well as Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Exemplary works such as Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and 1812 Overture have surpassed the classical genre and become fixtures of popular culture, and his artistic influence cannot be understated. On TCHAIKOVSKY, a live recording, the Philharmonie Austin and conductor Mark Dupere embark on a breathtaking homage to the legend, performing Symphony No. 5 and Romeo and Juliet, masterfully conveying the colorful orchestrations and vivid emotion that echoes throughout the legendary Russian composer’s oeuvre.
