Download The Life and Works of Tchaikovsky AudioBook Free
Tchaikovsky is one of the most popular composers of all time. His melodies are known to many people who may never have observed his name. They appear on mobile telephones, alarm clocks and answering machines normally as on details and concert programs. Like his music, the person himself was broadly liked, but his inner life was fraught with sufferings, confusions and a profound vein of self-doubt. The play of his mental life is vividly shown in his music, letters and diaries, which play a major part in this seductive portrait-in-sound. Who was simply the person behind some of the most intensely mental music ever before written? Who were the influential numbers in his life? With this production packed full of biographical details and poignant musical extracts we are led through the span of Tchaikovsky's eventful life. Jeremy Siepmann narrates throughout and Malcolm Sinclair portrays with sincerity this much-loved composer.
