| | | Exploring Music | | with Bill McGlaughlin | | Peter Tchaikovsky, part I (1840-1893) - Bill launches into the first part of a two-part series on the Russian Romantic composer Peter Tchaikovsky. Though shunned by some other Russian composers as sounding "too Western", Tchaikovsky was loved throughout the world as a great Russian composer. Caught between East and West, he created his own sound- a sound that to this day is still treasured and that Russians are proud to call their own. |
