Classical Music Library Free Download of the Week: Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, Op. 37b

Nikolai Bernard, editor of the periodical Nouvelliste had already commissioned vocal works from Tchaikovsky for publication. In late 1875, however, he approached Tchaikovsky again with an unusual request; twelve piano miniatures, each based on a seasonal text, to be published monthly in Nouvelliste. Tchaikovsky accepted the challenge and, over twelve months, produced his best known piano work, The Seasons.

This recording is performed by Ronan O'Hora, piano.
