Inspired by a three-month sojourn to Florence, Italy in 1890, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky returned to St. Petersburg with renewed vigor ‘on a large new work, but of a completely different kind’: Souvenir de Florence, Op. 70. Although initially riddled with ‘difficulty, handicapped by lack of ideas and the new form’, the work was subsequently revised and received thunderous applause at its public premiere in 1892.
New Texas Sinfonia makes its debut performance displaying the virtuosity and brilliance of its players in a program of works by John Rutter and William Lloyd Webber, concluding with Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence.
