Tchaikovsky - Souvenir Russe

Tchaikovsky:

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35

Souvenir d'un lieu tres cher, Op. 42

Swan Lake (excerpts)

Baiba Skride (violin)

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Andris Nelsons

Latvian violinist Baiba Skride proffers a collection of works for violin and orchestra by Tchaikovsky, the composer for which she feels the greatest affinity. Featuring the Violin Concerto, the album also includes Skride's interpretation of Tchaikovsky's triptych Souvenir d'un lieu cher, Op.42 in this rarely-heard version for violin and orchestra. She completes her musical souvenir album of the great Russian composer with two pieces from Swan Lake

“To subdue the inevitable scepticism as to whether yet another version of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto is really necessary, Nelsons responds with an orchestral canvas that is full of drama, lively with nuance and injected with bravura and also with sensitivity. His fellow Latvian, Baiba Skride, similarly rejects any ideas about just digging over old ground, and her interpretation, at once maturely considered and spontaneous, has a freshness and vivacity.” The Telegraph, 17th May 2008 (on Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto)

A Naxos Musical Journey - Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky:

Swan Lake (excerpts)

Sleeping Beauty (excerpts)

The Nutcracker Ballet, Op. 71 (Excerpts)

Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, Ondrej Lenard

This volume of the Naxos Musical Journey gives you a front-row seat to the great Kirov for excerpts from the wondrous "Swan Lake" ballet. Join in the pre-performance excitement as you witness the preparation of prima ballerina Tanya Serova. Travel beyond the Kirov and take a tour of astonishing Russian sights. From the great Kremlin and Red Square to the St. Petersburg Ballet School; from the striking and ominous Swallow's Nest Castle perched precariously on a cliff above the Black Sea to the natural beauty of the Persian peacock or the grace of swans gliding across the water's surface. Here is a trip as inspiring as the gliding melodies that whirled form the genius of Tchaikovsky.
