Jahreszeiten - CD

When pianist Tatiana Kozlova began exploring Peter Tchaikovsky's composition 'Seasons' on the occasion of it's 150th anniversary, she initially thought of interpreting it as images of nature and scenes from everyday life. However, a thorough study of the musical texts and the circumstances surrounding the cycle's creation led her to completely different and fascinating conclusions. Her knowledge of the Russian poems presented to Tchaikovsky for each month, as well as her knowledge of Russian literature and culture of that period, form the background to her unusual recording.
