String Serenades
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Edward Elgar & Antonín Dvořák & Ralph Vaughan Williams & Josef Suk & London Chamber Orchestra & Christopher Warren‐Green
The Serenade for Strings, Op. 48, is a composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1880. Scored for string orchestra, it combines late-Romantic lyricism, classical forms and varied dance metres to produce rich string textures and contrasts between buoyant, waltz-like movements and more introspective slow sections, and it occupies a place in Tchaikovsky's output as a chamber-orchestra work bridging his symphonic writing and lighter orchestral forms.
