... without a warm feeling of love'

'Tchaikovsky urtext' is no longer a rarity in the Breitkopf orchestral catalog. Polina Vajdman edits an extremely popular repertoire work, which the composer himself, however, did not like very much. Tchaikovsky even confessed to having written the score 'without a warm feeling of love'. Nevertheless, the opus proves to be a masterful piece of program music, in which two Russian folk songs, a liturgical melody of the Russian Orthodox Church and two national anthems - the Marseillaise and the Tsar's Anthem - are woven as if in passing. The occasion of the work's creation was the dedication of the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, built to commemorate the victory over Napoleon in 1812. The first printing of the score, carefully corrected three times by Tchaikovsky, is the main source of the Urtext new edition. The title 'Overture The Year 1812' corresponds to the composer's terminology, but surprisingly was not adopted in the first edition.
