Tchaikovsky Research : Georgy Tchaikovsky (b. 1883)
This article on Georgy was very interesting informing us about his life
till the year 1915 when news of him is suddenly cut off...some say he
immigrated to Italy and died there, others say that he was executed by
Stalin in the 1920's along with his uncle Nikolay...von Meck's son...I
however have another version...I distinctly remember in a NY Philharmonic
broadcast interview given by Deems Taylor the announcer at the time with
this very Georgy in the 1930's....it appeared as a rebroadcast of the
1930's between 1947 and 1951...My researches with the NY Phil archives
proved futile as I needed the exact date of the interview or the music
played at that concert....perhaps Mr Sokolov being more adept as
researcher into these matters can finally give us the truth of what
happened in the 1940's on these broadcasts...it still stands very clear in
my mind...and there is also the matter of what happened to Georgy's son...
