Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 2

Tchaikovsky:

Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 'Little Russian'

Tchaikovsky wrote his Second Symphony in the Ukraine, explaining the (unusual) abundance of Ukrainian songs which form the thematic basis of this Symphony. This was not characteristic for Tchaikovsky but led him to declare this his favourite Symphony despite it being less popular than his others.

The Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Fedoseyev

“the definitive video production” (Die Presse)

“Of all Tchaikovsky's symphonies, the Second needs the most kick and sheer charm - not qualities uppermost in Fedoseyev's superbly controlled interpretation. The soloists in a strong selection from Onegin, too, are useful but not unique.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 ***
