I would be interested in opinions on the BBC`s Series: Howard Goodall`s
"Story of music", particularly No. 5 `The Age of Rebellion` and his
comments on Tchaikovsky`s music? The link is below

To expand..What do you think of this from Howard Goodalls `Story of
Music`?
"Even Russia`s most famous composer of them all, Tchaikovsky, who
became a worldwide star in the 1880`s and 90`s was still composing in a
style that owed more to Beethoven or Brahms than to anything he`d picked
up on the banks of the Volga. But there was something Tchaikovsky excelled
at that was distinctly Russian and that contained within it the seeds of a
coming revolution, dance".
