PETER TCHAIKOVSKY

Conductor Gérard Korsten led the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in a 1993 recording of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for String Orchestra – one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular pieces known for its graceful melodies and lush harmonies, and Souvenir de Florence, a more complex piece that features a larger ensemble. Under Korsten’s direction, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe delivers a stunning performance that highlights the power and beauty of Tchaikovsky’s music, while bringing out the complexities of the pieces.
