The role of Pyotr Tchaikovsky in development of the genre of Russian symphony cannot be overestimated.
Using the richest arsenal of artistic means collected by the world classical music, with an outstanding mastery following and interpreting the laws of the genre that emerged and evolved in Western Europe, he contributed a genuine national substance and language to his symphonies.
Russian folk songs and Russian romances of everyday life became a major source of his melodically rich music language. The significance of the content and at the same time the clarity of expression are characteristic of Tchaikovsky's symphonic pieces.
According to Tchaikovsky, creating a symphony was like "music confession of the soul".
Tchaikovsky's symphonism is of a lyrically dramatic and acutely conflict nature. He made the theme of a human's fight for a right to happiness a focal point of his work and created a whole new symphonic genre in the Russian music - tragic symphony.
The main virtues of Tchaikovsky's symphonism became apparent as early as in his First Symphony (1866) dedicated to his friend, conductor, pianist, music and social figure Nikolai Rubinstein who subsequently conducted its premiere. Tchaikovsky named it Winter Daydreams as an embodiment of the nature in winter as he gazed the countryside during his trip to Lake Ladoga and the island of Valaam.
The Second Symphony (1872) was an example of how Tchaikovsky symphonized traditional material which made it closer to a traditional genre symphonism of the composers from the Mighty Coterie.
In his Third Symphony (1875), Tchaikovsky turned to a genre of another type. It is an unusual five-part symphony of a suite mould consisting of a ceremonial procession ("the tempo of a funeral march") turning into a brilliant allegro of a calm and measured German dance (Alla tedesca), an andante (an elegiac centre of the entire symphony), a fantastic and rustling scherzo, and an exuberant polonaise.
The Forth Symphony was the first philosophically generalizing work devoted to a central subject of his career - the fate (it was the first work where he introduced the subject). For the first time Tchaikovsky explained the program of his composition (disregarding the program to overtures and other symphonic works with a plot) and interpreted its idea. The symphony is "Dedicated to my best friend" who was Nadezhda von Meck.
The thought of the Fourth Symphony again constituted the basis of the Fifth Symphony (1888) - Fate pursuing an individual on the way to happiness. Great psychological concentration and seriousness are inherent in its music images. A multitude of expressive music themes progressively and extensively developing throughout the symphony, and the absence of sharp contrasts among the themes are distinctive features of the symphony.
Soon after composing the Fifth Symphony, Tchaikovsky wrote: "I terribly feel like writing a grandiose symphony which would be somewhat of a conclusion to my entire composing career…"
The Sixth Symphony was first performed at a concert of the St. Petersburg division of the Russian Music Society on October 16, 1893. It was conducted by Tchaikovsky himself.
Gennady Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky (born 1931) is one of the outstanding conductors of the 20th century, and also a pianist, composer, researcher.
Rozhdestvensky's repertoire is enormous. He has performed and recorded all the symphonies by Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and many other composers. He has conducted a multitude of the world's premieres both in Russia and overseas. ( Melodiya )
