Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich : Andante cantabile for Cello and Strings, Op. 11
Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich : Chant sans paroles (Song without words), for piano, Op. 2/3Notes & Reviews:
This album offers two often-played serenades by Antonin Dvorak and Josef Suk. The Serenade in E flat major was the answer of eighteen year old Suk to Dvorak's advice to "finally stop with that constant minor and write something fresh and youthful". The Serenade in E major, one of Dvorak's most beautiful chamber works, was written in 1874 and was originally intended for the Vienna Philharmonists. In both we hear the genius of the composer blended with Talich's sensitive, inspiring interpretation. This is the work's first time on CD!
