Overview:

The Tchaikovsky & Dvořák: Serenades for Strings album brings together two of the most beloved Romantic-era composers in a beautifully crafted performance by the Festival Strings Lucerne, conducted by Achim Fiedler. This compilation includes Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Serenade for String Orchestra in C Major, Op. 48 and Antonín Dvořák's Serenade for String Orchestra in E Major, Op. 22.

Tchaikovsky's Serenade, composed in 1880, is a rich tapestry of emotions, from the playful Pezzo in forma di Sonatina to the melancholic Élégie, concluding with the lively Finale (Tema russo). Dvořák's Serenade, written in 1875, is known for its lyrical beauty and rhythmic vitality, featuring elements such as the Tempo di valse and the lively Finale.

This performance, with its unabridged version of Dvořák's autograph, offers a deep and detailed experience of these iconic works, showcasing the Festival Strings Lucerne's exquisite sound and Achim Fiedler's sensitive conducting.
