Tchaikovsky composed the Variations on a Rococo Theme for cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, who re-ordered the variations, infuriating the composer. The cello part for the virtuosic Pezzo capriccioso was also altered by it's dedicatee, Anatoly Brandukov. In the performances heard here, Tchaikovsky's original intentions are restored. To accompany these pieces, Gabriel Schwabe has provided two of his own arrangements - the Canzonetta from the Violin Concerto and Valse sentimentale from the Six Morceaux. The album ends with the second version - never before recorded - of the romantic fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet.
Tracklist:
- Variations on a Rococo Theme in a Major, Op. 33 (Original Version)-Variation 2: Tempo Della Thema - Cadenza
- Pezzo Capriccioso in B minor, Op. 62 (With Original Cello Part)
- Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture (Second Version)
