Hailed by the press as “the definitive video production” of Tchaikovsky’s music, The Tchaikovsky Cycle features an exceptional concert series, recorded live at the Alte Oper Frankfurt. Fedoseyev’s perceptive reading of the works of his fellow countryman, the masterly playing of the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra and international guest soloists like the brilliant Japanese violinist Kyoko Takezawa, Brazilian cellist and Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medallist Antonio Meneses, acclaimed Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev, soprano Lydia Shernikh as well as the baritone Alexander Nenaovsky combine to produce performances which are revelatory in their execution and understanding of Tchaikovsky’s music and the Russian heritage.
