description
A unique recording of the harp arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons! • In 1875 Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was commissioned to write a series of piano pieces for the St. Petersburg musical magazine Nuvellist, each piece to be published in the monthly issue. Although Tchaikovsky frequently composed on commission (he sometimes described it casually as “tossing musical pancakes") he took it seriously and he even warmed to the task during composing. His 12 compositions are called “The Seasons” and describe each individual month of the year, either by mood or by a particular occasion or activity (January: By the Hearth, February: Carnival, July: Song of the Reaper etc). the music is affectionate, intimate and often hauntingly beautiful: a series of 12 musical gems! • This new recording presents The Seasons in an arrangement for harp, lovingly and expertly done by Greek Harpist Sissi Makropoulou. She is one of Greece’s foremost harpists and she collaborated with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Deutsche Oper and Musica Aeterna, with conductors like Barenboim, Nelsons and Currentzis. •/ Die Jahreszeiten / The Seasons / Les Saisons •
