Vladimir JurowskiAbout
So the Tchaikovsky symphony cycle is a perfect artistic collaboration with the LPO and the cycle of numbered symphonies begins here with the release of the 'bookends' - Symphonies 1 and 6.
Winter Daydreams is seductively atmospheric here and, under Jurowski's direction, has a lightness and pace to match the crisp orchestrations, giving the impression of a winter landscape. Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, Pathétique, captures the doom of his tormented world, with the tragic finale gaining significance with his sudden death just days after conducting the first performance in St. Petersburg.
Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London on 22 October 2008 (Symphony No.1) and 26 November 2008 (Symphony No.6)
Press acclaim:
‘Tchaikovsky always led with his heart – but Jurowski's fastidious and loving attention to detail in the First Symphony displayed its classical credentials in ways one rarely hears. This performance was on the money from start to finish... If anyone can "reveal" the real Tchaikovsky, this man can.’ - Independent, October 2008
