Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Peter Tchaikovsky, part I (1840-1893)
Bill launches into the first part of a two-part series on the Russian Romantic composer Peter Tchaikovsky. Though shunned by some other Russian composers as sounding too Western, Tchaikovsky was loved throughout the world as a great Russian composer. Caught between East and West, he created his own sound that to this day is still treasured and that Russians are proud to call their own. Bill starts with Mikhail Glinka, who broke from the Italian school to create the Russian school of music, and ends with excerpts of Tchaikovsky’s "Swan Lake."
