Violin Concerto / Sérénade mélancolique

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Itzhak Perlman & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Eugene Ormandy

Violin Concerto / Sérénade mélancolique is a pairing of two works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1878 and 1875 respectively. The Violin Concerto exemplifies Tchaikovsky's Romantic style with expansive, lyrical themes and demanding virtuosic violin writing that broadened the instrument's repertoire, while the Sérénade mélancolique is a shorter, elegiac piece featuring expressive solo lines over rich orchestral colouring and occupying a quieter but complementary place in his output.
