Gabriel Schwabe - Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations: Works For Cello & [CD] 12"

Gabriel Schwabe - Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations: Works For Cello & [CD] 12"Tchaikovsky composed the Variations on a Rococo Theme for cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, who re ordered the variations, infuriating the composer. The cello part for the virtuosic Pezzo capriccioso was also altered by it's dedicatee, Anatoly Brandukov. In the performances heard here, Tchaikovsky's original intentions are restored. To accompany these pieces, Gabriel Schwabe has provided two of his own arrangements the Canzonetta from the Violin Concerto

Deuxième Suite in D minor-Rejouissance

extremely flattering impression is followed by the beautifully radiant choruses as well as her fantasias and her Grand Sonata

Brace Yourself

Slow Train Fuego

the third and final part of their latest journey has the six-piece end this chapter of their career on a fulminant high note

the 'Symphonic Dedication to October' eventually became Shostakovich's Second Symphony
