Tchaikovsky Don Jackson & "London Philharmonic" DTS-DVD-AUDIO & CD Discription: Pyotr ll'yich Tchaikovsky is most famous for his three ballets: "Swan Lake," "Sleeping Beauty," and "The Nutcracker" - all of which are on this DVD-Audio disc. A breathtaking 5.1 Digital Surround soundtrack is included to sonically bring to life this exclusive London Philharmonic performance of his best-known works. Artist Background: Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was one of the earlier students of the St. Petersburg Conservatory established by Anton Rubinstein, completing his studies there to become a member of the teaching staff at the similar institution established in Moscow by Anton Rubinstein's brother Nikolay. He was able to withdraw from teaching when a rich widow, Nadezhda von Meck, offered him financial support which continued for much of his life, although, according to the original conditions of the pension, they never met. Tchaikovsky was a man of neurotic diffidence, his self-doubt was increased by his homosexuality. His music is thoroughly Russian in character, but, although he was influenced by Balakirev and the ideals of the Five Russian nationalist composers, he may be seen as belonging rather to the more international school of composition fostered by the Conservatories that Balakirev so much deplored.
