Pique Dame

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Orchestre national de France & Mstislav Rostropovich

Pique Dame (The Queen of Spades) is an opera by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, premiered in 1890. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration and dramatic vocal writing with vivid orchestral colour, lyrical melodies and intense harmonic language, and represents a mature moment in Tchaikovsky's operatic output as he adapted Russian literary material into large-scale dramatic form.
