"Mozartiana" Suites No. 3 & 4

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Sir Neville Marriner & Radio‐Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR

Mozartiana: Suites Nos. 3 and 4 is a pair of orchestral suites by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1884 and 1887 respectively. The works pair Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral palette with neo-classical gestures and a conscious homage to earlier classical forms, featuring elegant orchestration and a blend of dance-like and lyrical movements that reflect the composer's retrospective interest in historical models and his position within Russian and European musical traditions.

First released: January 1988
