This recording of Tchaikovsky orchestral rarities includes the early, reconstructed symphonic poem, Fatum, which incorporates the ‘fate motifs’ of the last three symphonies with something of the ebb and flow of a Liszt rhapsody. The overtures and dances are from operas less often heard in international repertoire than the established Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades. They range from the very Russian sounding Overture to The Voyevoda, Tchaikovsky’s first opera, to the Cossack-inspired Gopak from Mazeppa.
