[edit] Information

Two films by Christopher Nupen about the music and the artistic preoccupations of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

[edit] Women

The first part covers the period from the first tentative stirrings of Tchaikovsky's musical talent to the composition of his opera Eugene Onegin and the failure of his marriage to Antonina Milyukova.It looks at the women who fired his musical imagination in the early years, from Katerina Kabanova in his first orchestral work, The Storm, to his dearly loved Tatyana in Onegin.

[edit] Fate

The second part explores the composer's fascination with his own fate in the composition of Manfred and the last three symphonies. There are no featured actors, just singers, dancers, musicians and an anonymous storyteller, whose strikingly poetic words frequently come from Tchaikovsky himself.
