Schumann & Tchaikovsky Symphonies no. 1


This montage from our Podcast Vault revisits a post from May 2, 2014. It can be found in our archives at https://archive.org/details/pcast154



 =====================================================================



This week’s Podcast Vault selection harkens back to May 2014 with a pair of works that share some common features – they are both First Symphonies, they are both dedicated to seasons and some movements of each symphony were featured early on in past montages.

As we transition from Winter to Spring, it’s also appropriate to bid farewell to one season (via Tchaikovsky’s Winter Daydreams symphony) and welcome Spring (with Schuman’s aptly nicknamed Spring Symphony).

As filler, keeping with the springtime theme, Beethoven’s Spring sonata for violin and piano featuring David Oistrakh on violin and Lev Oborin in piano accompaniment.



  I think you will (still) love this music too.
