"In his liner notes, Yevgeny Sudbin remembers falling in love with
Tchaikovsky’s music when he was introduced to classical music. On this
album, the pianist presents a collection of piano pieces and arrangements for
piano, solo and four hands, of orchestral works by the great Russian composer,
preceding it with a curtain raiser much-loved by Tchaikovsky himself: Mikhail
Glinka's Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila. The piano pieces selected by Sudbin
spans some twenty years of Tchaikovsky's career and takes in the ever-popular
Barcarolle (June) and Troika (November) from The Seasons as well as three pieces
from the composer's last work for piano, the 18 Pieces, Op. 72. To these are
added two waltzes from The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, here performed in
four-hand piano arrangements with Sudbin's 12-year-old daughter Bella playing
the ‘primo’ part. The pièce de resistance of this album,
however, is Sudbin's arrangement of the famous overture-fantasy Romeo and Juliet
in which the composer, according to Sudbin, ‘lays bare his soul and where
some of his most incredible music can be found’. To the pianist, the
rawness and vulnerability of human emotions’ displayed in Tchaikovsky's
music is almost unparalleled, something which his own performance here serve to
confirm."
