DESCRIPTION
The enormous popularity of Tchaikovsky's music since the turn of the century shows no sign of abating. His orchestral works, in particular, with their wealth of melody and brilliant scoring, have long found a ready response with audiences everywhere. Whatever criticisms may be levelled at Tchaikovsky, few would disagree that he was a musical genius.
The titles of many Tchaikovsky works are household words, and perhaps the "1812" is the most widely known of all his many popular compositions. "Ouverture Solennelle - The Year 1812", to give the work its full title, was completed in 1880 and first performed at the consecration of the Cathedral of the Redeemer in the Kremlin two years later. It celebrates the events of 1812, the year of the Russian armies' victories over Napoleon. Incorporated into the music are a Russian folksong, the Marseillaise and the Russian national hymn "God preserve Thy People". The Fantasy Overture Hamlet is not so often performed as Tchaikovsky other Shakesperian inspiration, Romeo and Juliet. Nevertheless in recent years it has become popular, thanks mainly to the ballet which Robert Helpmann built arouund it. It dates from 1888 and was originally intended as a prelude to a French production of the play to be staged in Moscow.
