The four works in this attractive collection attest to Tchaikovsky's consummate mastery of melodic line and orchestral color. Featuring the solo cello as their focus, these compositions include the renowned Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33, the Pezzo Capriccioso, Op. 62, and two works for cello and orchestra transcribed by the composer from earlier sources: the lovely, world-famous Andante cantabile from his First String Quartet, Op. 11, and the beautiful Nocturne, originally composed for Tchaikovsky's Six Pieces for Piano, Op. 19. Reproduced from authoritative editions, this unique compilation of works by the great Russian master adds an important new volume to every music lover's score library.
