Tchaikovsky, born today in 1840, remains one of my favourite composers, who embodied Russia and his times.
My particular favourite is his Serenade for Strings in C major from 1880, actually the first piece of music I ever heard on CD.
A touching, moving churchyard memorial to some of the war dead of 1914 – 1918.
Soon after the conflict some viewed WW1 as the war to end all wars. So when this memorial was erected who could have imagined such an amount of horror, suffering and loss ever being repeated again..?
