Upon its completion in 1874, Tchaikovsky’s mighty first piano concerto had its famous opening chords described by pianist Nikolai Rubinstein as ‘bad, trivial and vulgar,’ yet it won the public over instantly at its premiere. The dramatic first movement is followed by a poetic, more lightly scored Andantino Semplice featuring beautiful interplay between soloist and orchestra. The finale is then a glittering, folk-informed rondo. It was to Act II of Tchaikovsky’s 1892 ballet, The Nutcracker, that audiences initially most warmed. The curtain rises on the serene Magic Palace of Confitureenburg. After the arrival of Clara and her Nutcracker prince, sweets from around the world perform a series of dances for them, climaxing on the ‘Waltz of the Flowers.’ Next comes a Pas de Deux in which sit a daintily whirling Tarantella and the ‘Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy.’ The ballet then climaxes on a grand waltz.

English

Achevé en 1874, l’imposant premier concerto pour piano de Tchaïkovski a vu ses célèbres accords d’ouverture décrits par le pianiste Nikolaï Rubinstein comme « mauvais, trivial et vulgaire ». Cependant, l’œuvre a instantanément conquis le public lors de sa première représentation. Le premier mouvement, dramatique, est suivi d’un Andantino Semplice, poétique et plus léger, qui présente une belle interaction entre le soliste et l’orchestre. Le finale est un rondo scintillant aux accents folkloriques. C’est à l’acte II du ballet de 1892 de Tchaïkovski, Casse-Noisette, que le public s’est d’abord montré le plus enthousiaste. Le rideau se lève sur le paisible palais magique de Confitureenburg. Après l’arrivée de Clara et de son prince Casse-Noisette, des friandises du monde entier exécutent pour eux une série de danses, dont le point culminant est la « Valse des fleurs ». Vient ensuite un Pas de Deux dans lequel s’inscrivent une tarentelle délicatement tourbillonnante et la « Danse de la fée des prunes ». Le ballet se termine par une grande valse, offrant une conclusion spectaculaire et saisissante.
