Klavierkonzert Nr. 1 b-moll op. 23 / Fantasie-Ouvertüre 'Romeo und Julia'

This release is an album of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, presenting a late‑Romantic piano concerto and a dramatic fantasy‑overture composed in the late 1860s to mid 1870s. The music combines sweeping, emotive melodies, bold orchestration and virtuosic piano writing, illustrating Tchaikovsky's development of large‑scale lyricism and his influence on the concerto and orchestral repertoire of the late Romantic period.
