The Tchaikovsky Album - RLPO/Petrenko

Classic FM Album of the Week, 5 May 2015, after 10am

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - under its Chief Conductor Vasily Petrenko - here deliver a remarkable selection of Tchaikovsky's greatest works.

The Capriccio Italien is here, along with Francesca da Rimini, an intensely felt Romeo and Juliet, and a suitably high-voltage 1812 Overture to rattle the rafters.

Petrenko draws out wonderfully expressive performances from the RLPO in a dazzling collection which both celebrates Tchaikovsky's 175th birthday and the RLPO's 175th anniversary year - almost twins and very well suited to each other.
