John Suchet presents a major new eight-part series looking at the fascinating life and music of one of classical music’s most famous – and most influential – composers: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
With plenty of his great music played along the way – ‘Swan Lake’, ‘The Nutcracker’ and his ‘1812 Overture’ among them – John takes a look at what made Tchaikovsky such a remarkable man and composer.
John explains the ups and downs of the composer’s extraordinary life and works that were deeply shaped by his troubled character. From his disastrous marriage, to his extraordinary relationship with his female patron, his many amorous liaisons and his devotion to friends and family, we explore ‘Tchaikovsky – The Man Revealed’ through his music.
