Tchaikovsky: Orchestral Works, Vol. 3

2025CHSA-5352

Alpesh Chauhan and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra continue their survey of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral works, combining established repertoire with lesser-known works. For this third volume, the former are represented by excerpts from Eugene Onegin and the Marche slave. Less well-known music includes the “Dance of the Tumblers” from the rarely performed opera The Enchantress, while the overture The Storm was a student exercise inspired by Alexander Ostrovsky’s play of the same name. The most substantial work on the album is the Second Orchestral Suite, the format of which freed Tchaikovsky from the strict formal demands of the symphony and gave him greater license for experimentation.
