Season 6 Premiere: Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6, Part 1
Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - Ein Podcast von Joshua Weilerstein - Donnerstags
A bit of a preamble is necessary here: devotees of the podcast will know that I’ve already done an episode on Tchaikovsky 6. Looking back though, I realized that a short episode was just not nearly enough to go through all of the details behind this controversial and hotly debated piece. So, I decided to open the season with a real 2 part exploration of the work, because it remains such an unusual landmark in the symphonic landscape. This week we take a look at the first two movements of the symphony.
