Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich Paavo Järvi, Music Director Piotr I. Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) Sinfonie Nr. 1 g-Moll op. 13 «Winterträume» Recorded on 22. January 2021, Tonhalle Maag, Zurich 00:00 I. Allegro tranquillo («Träumerei auf winterlicher Fahrt») 12:13 II. Adagio cantabile ma non tanto («Rauhes Land, Nebelland») 23:17 III. Scherzo: Allegro scherzando giocoso 31:24 IV. Finale: Andante lugubre – Allegro moderato – Allegro maestoso Under the baton of Music Director Paavo Järvi the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich interprets Piotr I. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1 – a foretaste of their newest recording featuring the composer's complete orchestral work. A recording from the Tonhalle Maag in Zurich. Shortly after having accepted his professorship at the Moscow Conservatory Tchaikovsky committed himself to composing his first symphony «Winter Daydreams». A deceivingly pleasant title considering writing it caused Tchaikovsky crippling nightmares and insomnia. This «sin of my sweet youth» as he referred to it later nevertheless premiered successfully. Stylistic choices such as the atmospherically orchestrated second movement and vigorous finale as well as the inclusion of an orchestral waltz would become characteristics of Tchaikovsky’s work. ___ ▪️ Webseite→ https://tonhalle-orchester.ch​​ ▪️ Facebook→   / tonhalleorchester​​   ▪️ Instagram→   / tonhalleorchester​​   ▪️ Twitter→   / tonhalle​   #classicalmusic #tchaikovsky
