Info zu Tchaikovsky: Symphonies No. 1, 2 & 5

The eagerly awaited Tchaikovsky Symphony cycle from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko gets underway with Symphonies 1, 2 & 5.

In mid-January 1866, the twenty-six year old Tchaikovsky had taken up his post as Professor of Music Theory at the newly-opened Moscow Conservatory. In March he began sketching ideas for a symphony for which he already had a title: Zimniye Gryozi – ‘Winter Dreams’. It was his first attempt at this demanding genre and no other work would give the composer so much trouble to write. Coinciding with the period in which he was coming to terms with his homosexuality, he struggled to cope with the complexities of symphonic form. By the time the Symphony received its premiere (conducted by its dedicatee Nikolai Rubinstein in February 1868) Tchaikovsky had twice rewritten almost the entire work. That was not the end of the journey. In 1874 he revised the work yet again. It was a further nine years before this final version was heard….
