{"title":"Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky","description":"Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Votkinsk, May 7, 1840 – Saint Petersburg, November 6, 1893) was a Russian composer of the late Romantic period, whose compositions are among the most well-known in the classical repertoire. He combined characteristics of traditional Russian music with classical musical practice in his style, in contrast to the aesthetic vision of The Five, which was based on greater musical nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough he showed early musical talent, Tchaikovsky studied law. In Russia at the time, musical education was unregulated and opportunities to study music academically were limited. When such opportunities arose for him, he abandoned his legal career and entered the newly established Saint Petersburg Conservatory. After completing his studies, he forged his own Russian musical style, consolidating the use of classical compositional conventions alongside traditional Russian music, thus achieving international renown, although not always well-received by Russian critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite popular success, his life was marked by events that led him to depression and a fatalistic view of existence: in his youth, the death of his mother, the subsequent breakdown of interpersonal relationships, and the unacceptability of his homosexuality in the society of the time contributed to this condition. His death is officially attributed to cholera, but its circumstances are debated; suicide has also been hypothesized, either through voluntary contagion with the disease or by another form of poisoning.","products":[{"product_id":"to-russia-with-love-kostandin-tashko","title":"TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE - Kostandin Tashko","description":"\u003cp class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial Narrow, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE \u003c\/b\u003e(CVLD332)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKostandin Tashko\u003c\/strong\u003e, piano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable in: HD File, CD\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikolai Karlovich Medtner\u003cbr\u003e01 - Sonata Reminiscences op.38 in A minor n.1 from Forgotten Melodies I, 15'56\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky \u0026amp; Mikhail Vasilievich Pletnev\u003cbr\u003eThe Nutcracker Suite, 17'50\"\u003cbr\u003e02 - March, 1'59\"\u003cbr\u003e03 - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, 2'09\" \u003cbr\u003e04 - Tarantella, 1'22\"\u003cbr\u003e05 - Intermezzo, 4'13\"\u003cbr\u003e06 - Trepak (Russian Dance), 1'12\"\u003cbr\u003e07 - The Tea (Chinese Dance), 1'22\"\u003cbr\u003e08 - Pas de deux (Andante maestoso), 5'33\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgor Fyodorovich Stravinsky\u003cbr\u003eTrois mouvements de Pétrouchka, 17'40\" \u003cbr\u003e09 - Danse russe, 2'50\" \u003cbr\u003e10 - Chez Pétrouchka, 5'17\"\u003cbr\u003e11 - La semaine grasse, 9'33\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTot. time: 51'32\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 20px; border-color: white;\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/velutluna.lnk.to\/To-Russia-with-Love\" height=\"370\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24bit\/88.2kHz original recording made at Laboratorio ZANTA, Camponogara, Italy, on December 3, 4, 2020\u003cbr\u003eKostandin Tashko plays on Steinway \u0026amp; Sons D274 Concert Grandpiano, prepared and tuned by Silvano Zanta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction: \u003cstrong\u003eVELUT LUNA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExecutive producer: \u003cstrong\u003eMarco Lincetto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecording, mix and mastering engineer: \u003cstrong\u003eMarco Lincetto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusical producer and editing engineer: \u003cstrong\u003eMattia Zanatta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: \u003cstrong\u003eMyriam Guglielmo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside photo: \u003cstrong\u003eMarco Lincetto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign and layout: \u003cstrong\u003eL'Image\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKostandin Tashko    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \"... deep vision of the text, combined with great musical maturity.

Piano writing between composition, transcription and restitution. The path proposed by Kostandin Tashko in the name of the Russian musical tradition unfolds along a path that, although traced within the twentieth-century context, tends to look back nostalgically at a past with vaguely defined contours, between Medtner's dreamlike late romanticism, Tchaikovsky's fairy-tale and Stravinsky's ancestral. The undisputed protagonist is the piano, an instrument historically linked to compositional activity both as a starting point for the drafting of piano pieces entrusted to the performance of the composer himself, and as the recipient of transcriptions taken from orchestral pieces by the author or later performers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velut Luna","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49993783968091,"sku":"CVLD332CD","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"HD FILE 88.2kHz · 24bit","offer_id":46770488344923,"sku":"CVLD332","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/folder_84ac6d7d-f8b9-4465-8c9c-4d113929c8d1.jpg?v=1685028515"},{"product_id":"the-velut-luna-reference-vol-1","title":"The Velut Luna's Reference Vol. 1: Masterclone 24K GOLD CD","description":"\u003cp class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial Narrow, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Velut Luna's Reference CD Vol.1 \u003c\/b\u003e(VLLP009) (CVLD393)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large; color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.referencemusicstore.com\/product\/26406588\/the-velut-luna-s-reference-vinyl-limited-edition-2-lp-140-gr-\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial Narrow, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp lang=\"en-US\"\u003eAvailable in: \u003cstrong\u003eMasterclone 24K GOLD CD\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHD File\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eindividually made one by one - Only 50 copies available on Gold 24K CD!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eI-86 Going North\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e5:42 \u003c\/span\u003e(Fabio Ranghiero \/ Lucia Minetti - Lucia Minetti)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucia Minetti \u0026amp; Fabio Ranghiero, Recorded at Magister Recording Area, Preganziol April 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAmarsi un po'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e4:13 \u003c\/span\u003e(Battisti - Mogol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChiara Pastò \u0026amp; Enrico Santacatterina, Recorded at Parco Euganeo, Montegrotto Terme, August 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFind Me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e4:06 \u003c\/span\u003e(D.
