{"product_id":"tchaikovsky-rolston-string-quartet-souvenirs","title":"Tchaikovsky \/ Rolston String Quartet- Souvenirs (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo us, the Rolston String Quartet, the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is simply irresistible - and so, a debut album containing only his finest chamber works was an obvious choice. Cherished for his memorable and beautifully simplistic melodies, Tchaikovsky's music is innately joyous, virtuosic, and heart-wrenching, often all at once- yet never violent in nature. As musicians, we adore the charm and childhood nostalgia that Tchaikovsky is able to encompass from start to finish. In this album, we have selected a work from each of his early, middle, and late periods: his String Quartet No. 1 in D major, selections from his Children's Album, and his beloved Souvenir de Florence for string sextet. Not only could we showcase a quartet that we treasure, but we were given the opportunity to collaborate with two of the Chapel's brilliant professors: violist Miguel da Silva and cellist Gary Hoffman. We gravitate towards Tchaikovsky's chamber music more than other composers' because of his stunning ability to write symphonically: right form the opening chords of the D major quartet, Tchaikovsky expands the sonic possibilities of the traditional string quartet towards that of a symphony orchestra. To round out the program are five delicate and endearing pieces: our favorite selections from Tchaikovsky's Children's Album for solo piano, arranged for string quartet by Rostislav Dubinsky, the founding first violinist of the Borodin Quartet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985638707421,"sku":"5400439007574","price":146.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3730869-2525684.jpg?v=1762929617","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/tchaikovsky-rolston-string-quartet-souvenirs","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
