Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto

Discovering Music

Available for over a year

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky for an in-depth examination of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, a work originally rejected by its dedicatee, violinist Leopold Auer, as unplayable. Composed in 1878, the piece was written during a stay in Switzerland, where Tchaikovsky was joined by his composition pupil, the violinist Iosif Kotek.
