Elegy for strings


Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Järvi

We have now reached the 5th instalment in the cycle of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies with Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi. Symphony No.4, which – along with No.5 – Tchaikovsky himself often referred to in the context of ‘Fate’, symbolized by a ‘fate motif’ which opens the programme and is described by the composer as: ‘This is fate, destiny, that portentous power that will not permit our quest for happiness to be successful, that jealously stands guard so that our joyfulness and peace are neither perfect nor cloudless, that hangs like the sword of Damocles above our heads and constantly, continually poisons our soul.’

“… well heard though everything is, and satisfying though the tempi and their relationships to each other always are, I miss an element of volatility here, a romantic temperament wrestling with forces beyond his control.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008

Tchaikovsky: Elegy for strings, etc.

Tchaikovsky:

Elegy for strings

Manfred Symphony, Op. 58


Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Ashkenazy

Following many requests for a reissue of Ashkenazy's Philharmonia recording of Tchaikovsky's programmatic Manfred Symphony, many listeners will be delighted to have his searing portrayal available again. It is coupled with the little-known Elegie which was incorporated into Tchaikovsky's incidental music for Hamlet.

“The recording is among the finest of Decca's last analogue period, the fullness and sense of presence match or even outshine those on many a modern recording ... Colourful, dramatic performances, warmly sympathetic yet never self-indulgent ... The alertness of the Philharmonia's playing consistently conveys the feeling of live communication ... an outstanding choice” Gramophone Magazine
