Things I learned today on the radio:

  • he was unhappily engaged
  • he had suicidal thoughts
  • he had a romantic relationship with his former student

Sounds like a normal artist there ;)

I'm not sure, but I think he was also homosexual in a time where it wasn't acceptable to be so.

Yes, he was, but that wouldnt make a difference in my list, as I didn't state what gender his romantic lover had.
Or should that be an extra point?
:)))

I loved this post @bengy! Without a shadow of doubt Tchaikovsky was a great master! And what melody, orchestration and counterpoint! Gorgeous! A privilege listen this work, even more with this orchestra and conductor!!

Thanks! This is an awesome performance, it has been ages since I had listened to any Tchaikovsky, so it was a refreshing change!

Didn't know much about the history of opera music thanks for the post.

Thanks! Just for future, it is symphonic music! Opera comes with singing!

One of my favourite composers, alongside Smetana. Great piece!

Oooh, Smetana! I also haven't listened to his music for such a long time! I must try it again!

well written ~ Tchaikovsky in a nutshell.
I think his soul needed the torments and the malcontents to write the way he did...

Great hardship does sometimes create great art! But I think I would personally choose for a less miserable life!


When it comes to classical music, you are the man!
Btw, if there any chance you will post about Eric Satie? I’ve just listened to one of his compositions, And I loved it....Great post @bengy! As always :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I will find something for you!

Oddly enough, I began to enjoy classical music like this when I was a little girl watching Bugs Bunny cartoons :) I didn't know until much later that it was actually "classical music", I just knew that I liked the sound of it!

This piece is wonderful :) Thank you for sharing! I'm forwarding this to @asapers and hopefully it will be showcased in our next READ me ASAP publication.

Weirdly enough, loony tunes did introduce many to Classical music! Somehow, they did mane to fit it to make it work in a really great way, rather than using classical music as the 'straight man' of the 'boring music' that is so often done today...


That's so true @bengy! I hadn't thought about how it's portrayed today ... that's really sad, isn't it?! People are left with such a negative prospective that way! Hmmm thanks for bringing that to my attention actually; I never put that together!


Oh yes Tchaikovsky is one of my favourite composers 🎼💙Always a pleasure to check you musical posts @bengy

Yes, I loved his music when I was younger, but then forgot about it when I specialised in earlier music! It's nice to return and rediscover it again!
