His works themselves make the history of struggling over destiny! The Russian composer Tchaikovsky is widely known for his countless celebrated pieces, especially for his beautiful melodies, but beyond which, the unuttered notes between the lines are rather profound for people to ponder on. Through all the flow and flush of time, his one and only violin concerto is now at last highly lauded, and has become a must-have touchstone for all violinists.
Symphony No. 5, nicknamed Tchaikovsky's personal "Destiny Symphony", seems to be the true acknowledgement of facing destiny, challenging destiny, and triumphing destiny by the composer himself, from the first note to the last. It is sweet, romantic, and radiant, all in one piece. Waltz materials are intentionally blended in the music, and seasoned with Tchaikovsky's signature spice and flavors. It will definitely spark your senses and soul, and sublimate your spirit!
