Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 / Serenade Melancolique, Op. 26 / Melodie, Op. 42

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Zino Vinnikov & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Yehudi Menuhin

This release is a collection of works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed between 1875 and 1878. The programme pairs a large-scale Romantic violin concerto with shorter, melancholic salon pieces, illustrating Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic idiom through sweeping melodies, rich orchestral textures and demanding solo writing that mark his consolidation of a distinct orchestral and lyrical voice in the late 1870s.
