More Info:
Tchaikovsky's Orchestral Suites are the least known of his orchestral works. These performances from Victor Julien-Laferrière and Orchestre Consuelo highlight how the rediscovery provides an insight into the composer's stylistic resources, as he delves into the possibilities offered by a free form. From fugues to ancient dances, not to mention the use of Russian folk themes, Tchaikovsky's stamp is always recognizable due to it's particularity, diversity and his inexhaustible orchestral inventiveness.
