THE TCHAIKOVSKY EXPERIENCE

The Tchaikovsky Experience is now over, but you can still listen to broadcasts for up to seven days via the Radio 3 web-site. The full schedule is given below:

Saturday 10 February	Monday 12 February	Thursday 15 February
Sunday 11 February	Tuesday 13 February	Friday 16 February
	Wednesday 14 February

The season included many rarities, a number of which were recorded or broadcast for the first time. Of particular note for Tchaikovsky enthusiasts are:

The world premiere recording of the original version of Symphony No. 1 as it was first performed in 1868 (Monday 1930–2230).
All three versions of the overture-fantasia Romeo and Juliet (1869, 1870 and 1880) on Thursday (0700–1000 and 1700–1930). The 1870 version is a world premiere broadcast recording.
The early operas The Voevoda (Monday 0100–0700) and The Oprichnik (Tuesday 0100–0700). A recently-discovered additional aria for the latter has been recorded specially, and will be played separately in the 1700–1930 slot.
The opera Vakula the Smith (Saturday 1300–1700) which was the original version of Cherevichki (Sunday 0100–0700).
Surviving fragments from the destroyed opera Undina (Thursday 1930–2230), and scenes from unrealised operas Mandragora (Tuesday 0700–1000) and Romeo and Juliet (Wednesday 0700–1000)
Tchaikovsky's music for stage productions of Dmitrii the Pretender and Vasilii Shuiskii (Tuesday 1300–1700), The Barber of Seville (Saturday 1300–1700) and The Voevoda (Sunday 1930–2230).
The student Overture in C minor, and both versions of the Overture in F major.
The rarely-heard cantatas Ode to Joy (Saturday 2230–0100), Cantata for the Opening of the Polytechnic Exhibition (Wednesday 2230–0100), and Cantata for the Jubilee of O. A. Petrov (Saturday 2230–0100).
World premiere recordings of the recently-discovered chorus Spring (Sunday 2230–0100), and the piano piece Moment lyrique (Friday 0700–1000) which was previously only known in a reconstructed version.
All Tchaikovsky's surviving Student Works for chamber ensembles and orchestra (various times throughout the week)
Tchaikovsky's arangements of Schumann's Symphonic Studies (Thursday 1700–1930), Weber's Perpetuum mobile (Thursday 1700–1930), and the Ungarische Zigeunerweisen by Sophie Menter or Franz Liszt.
World premiere recordings of Tchaikovsky's arrangement of the folksong It's Not the Wind that Bends the Branch (Monday 1700–1930), and the Austrian National Anthem Gott Erhalte Franz den Kaiser (Friday 0700–1000).

... as well as some smaller pieces and album-leaves recorded specially by the BBC. This was the most comprehensive broadcast of Tchaikovsky's works ever undertaken. We will still do our best to answer any questions abroad the broadcasts that we receive at info@tchaikovsky-research.net
