"Too Western, too smooth, too sentimental," Tchaikovsky's nationalist colleagues judged his First Symphony in 1866. Nowadays, perhaps precisely because of that, Tchaikovsky is the most beloved Russian composer. His First Symphony 'Winter Dreams' is typical Tchaikovsky: wistful, passionate, and full of captivating melodies. In turn, Tchaikovsky was full of praise for his elder colleague Borodin. "I particularly recommend In the Steppes of Central Asia; it is very beautiful," he wrote in 1886.

Let yourself be enchanted by symphonic winter dreams and panoramic musical vistas from old Russia. Piano soloist Ralph van Raat, ("sensational lucidity" - de Volkskrant) performs a brand new Piano Concerto by Karen Tanaka, who once won the Gaudeamus Award with her piano concerto Anamorphose. A heartwarming concert under the baton of the young Belgian maestro Martijn Dendievel.
