Tchaikovsky The Seasons Чайковский Времена года Valentina Lisitsa

Recorded at marvelous Schaubühne Lindenfels Leipzig Many thanks to MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra for lending me the piano :) A HUGE very special thanks going to The Embassy of Russian Federation in Canada (Ottawa), Russian Ambassador to Canada Alexander Darchiev and Press Secretary of Russian Embassy Kirill Kalinin for making me learn this gem of music for a special concert dedicated to Tchaikovsky s 175th anniversary. Janvier (January): Au coin du feu (At the Fireside) January A little corner of peaceful bliss, the night dressed in twilight; the little fire is dying in the fireplace, and the candle has burned out. (Alexander Pushkin) Février (February): Carnaval (Carnival) 5:36 February At the lively Mardi Gras soon a large feast will overflow. (Pyotr Vyazemsky)
