Peter, Boris, Alexander. All Tchaikovsky in one concert

IRKUTSK. World premiere at a concert dedicated to the work of three Tchaikovsky.

A rare opportunity to hear in one concert the works of three composers with the name Tchaikovsky and at the same time attend the world premiere was presented to the residents of Irkutsk at the regional philharmonic on February 13. The program dedicated to composers united by the name Tchaikovsky included the Third Symphony by Pyotr Ilyich, one of the earliest compositions for clarinet and orchestra of Boris Alexandrovich and the first performance of a double concerto for cello and violin by Alexander Vladimirovich.

Major Symphony No. 3 of Pyotr Tchaikovsky is performed extremely rarely. Although the composer’s memoirs, benevolent reviews of critics testify to the benevolent reception of a light and very effective work. The five-part experimental symphony fell in love with the audience for its originality, transitions from the playful Allegro to the tragic Andante, from the soft waltz of the second part to the playful march of the fourth and solemn climax of the fifth.

Boris Aleksandrovich Tchaikovsky is called one of the outstanding composers and symphonists of the 20th century. His teachers were unique teachers and musicians: Elena Fabianovna Gnesina, Eugene Messner, Dmitry Shostakovich, Vissarion Shebalin, Lev Oborin, Nikolai Myaskovsky. Magnificent symphonies, vocal cycles, amazing music for cinema allow us to appreciate the scale of his talent, not inferior to the talent of the great namesake. The composition for clarinet and chamber orchestra, written by Boris Alexandrovich at the beginning of his creative career, is a mature, integral piece by a real master.

Alexander Tchaikovsky, nephew of Boris Tchaikovsky, a worthy successor to the traditions of the musical dynasty. He works a lot and successfully for the theater, composing operas and ballets for children and adults. The extensive list of his works includes symphonies, concerts, chamber compositions. The concert of Alexander Tchaikovsky, whose world premiere took place on February 13, is a wonderful and dramatic story about love and the inevitability of elusive time.
