Discovery Orchestra Chat 128 – Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 Part 7
Maestro Maull continues the exploration of the 4th movement of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in this seventh of eight Discovery Orchestra Chats on the piece!
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime. I have heard Maull lecture many times before performances and now here he is right on my computer screen and with the clearest of visual aids. I promise if you listen to one of these you will understand a piece as never before. And, I have discovered from past experiences with his lectures that I always listen to any given piece with a greater connection. These “home” viewings of Maull’s lectures are such a gift! Highly recommended.
