Serenade for Strings / Souvenir de Florence

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Wiener Kammerorchester & Philippe Entremont

Serenade for Strings and Souvenir de Florence are two chamber works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1880 and 1890 respectively. The Serenade for Strings features lyrical, classically influenced string writing and formal clarity, while Souvenir de Florence, scored for string sextet, explores denser late-Romantic textures and expansive melodic development, together exemplifying Tchaikovsky's mature contribution to the string repertoire.
