TCHAIKOVSKY: Souvenir de Florence, op. 70
Augustin Hadelich’s stunning virtuosity, charismatic stage presence, profound expressiveness, and the ability to mine both the subtleties and drama in every work he plays have made him one of today’s most exciting and sought-after performers.
Tchaikovsky’s sextet Souvenir of Florence was written “with the greatest enthusiasm and with the least exertion,” according to the composer. After completing it, he said, “It’s frightening to see how pleased I am with myself.” The pleasure audiences have taken in this melodious work has made it a recital hall favorite.
