Description

A set of twelve reflective pieces for solo piano by the Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Each piece is the characteristic of a different month of the year. Each month's mood is captured perfectly in these smooth piano tunes performed by Anton Kingsbury. Troika (November) was a favourite encore of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Barcarolle (June) was enormously popular and appeared in numerous arrangements.

Author

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) wrote ballets, symphonies, and The Seasons — Russian melody at a public temperature. The piano cycle is a year in a room: months as moods, a calendar you can play. The big scores (Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, the concertos) made him the first Russian composer the world could hum. Fourteen titles here, many of them that indoor year. He was shy of the crowd and devastating when the crowd arrived.
