Souvenir de Florence

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Budapesti Vonósok & Károly Botvay

Souvenir de Florence is a string sextet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1890. The work draws on late-Romantic harmonies and lyrical, arching melodies alongside vigorous chamber textures for an enlarged string ensemble, and it is one of Tchaikovsky's late chamber pieces that adapts his orchestral sensibilities to intimate, virtuosic string writing influenced by his time in Italy.
First released: 1993
