Seasons

Excellent performance of a fairly rare Tchaikovsky piece!

Wasn't familiar withe music until we heard it on the radio--We bought it and it is a very nice addition to our library--

Tchaikovsky's The Seasons contains some of his loveliest and most accessible melodies. This set of miniatures was originally composed for piano and subsequently arranged for Orchestra by a number of composers, notably, Alexander Gauk and Morton Gould.I found Peter Breiner's arrangement for violin and orchestra both masterful and charming. Takako Nishizaki's playing is excellent, as usual!This album is a real bargain at only $5.99 (Digital download)!

just so you know, all of the works on this cd were -arranged- by a modern composer/conductor by the name of peter breiner. everything about the CD is good, though, but if you're a purist as i am you'll prob. be more interested in naxos's CD of the seasons as originally scored for solo piano.
