"Tchaikovsky and His Contemporaries" is designed to show the influence
Tchaikovsky had on the musical life of his contemporaries. His
innovations in Russian sacred and secular music gave a powerful
impetus to many subsequent generations of Russian composers.
Tchaikovsky brought to life musical landscapes, including his piano
cycle "The Seasons," from which "January" is included in this program.
The theme of beauty and love is powerfully expressed in Tchaikovsky's
cantata "Nature and Love," which was set to the composer's own text. Patriotism,
morality, and compassion in the works of Tchaikovsky echoed in the
soul of the young Rachmaninoff. His "Six Choruses for Women's Voices,"
written in early youth, expresses deep emotion, as well as poetic
images of nature, composed with elegance and sophistication.
One of Tchaikovsky's most enthusiastic admirers was his contemporary, Anton Arensky,
whose "Three Quartets" for voices and cello is one of the gems of Russian Romantic music.
