Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.2
INTERVAL
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Suite No.3 in G
Gennadi Rozhdestvenskyconductor
Viktoria Postnikovapiano
1877, and following disastrous marital calamities, Tchaikovsky left Russia, beginning a nomadic existence visiting friends and seasonal retreats, only approaching a settled lifestyle at the country retreat of his sister in Kamenka. 'I feel a certain emptiness - I have to get on with something', he wrote there. But he was soon gripped with inspired fervour: 'Today I began to create something, and the boredom vanished as if by magic', filling his emotional void with the fervent creation of the agile and moving Second Piano Concerto.
