This video offers annotations for Tchaikovsky's symphonic fantasy, 'Francesca da Rimini'. The composition itself is based on the fifth canto from Dante's 'Inferno'.
The [grey] annotations are Tchaikovsky's own programme notes which appear at the start of the manuscript score. The [light brown] annotations provide a suggested interpretation of the music, using Tchaikovsky's programme as a starting point then looking to Dante's poetry for further insight. The [dark brown] annotations are quotations from the poem.
- This performance is a recording of Christoph Eschenbach and the Houston Symphony Orchestra (Virgin, 2003 Digital Remaster):

This is one of most incredible Tchaikovsky"s, works, you can almost feel on your skin all the suffering of his soul, how the dark side struggles with his magnificent creativity and finally comes to life for our benefit, such a wonderful piece.

You're comparing a Hungarian with a Russian. There are 2 different but similar outlooks. Personally, I like both.

Thank you for uploading this. I assume that this is the '95 recording, featuring Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony, is it not?

@acinemajunkie You're welcome! This is actually the 2003 digital remastering of Christoph Eschenbach with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, originally released in 1991.

Fantastic, thank you for the upload. Dante's Inferno seems like it was the perfect poem for Tchaikovsky to take up.

It does indeed - this is one of Tchaikovsky's best works in my opinion. How do you think it compares to Liszt's 'Dante Symphony' (or at least the first movement)? I enjoy Liszt's piece, and it certainly succeeds in capturing an infernal atmosphere, but somehow I feel Tchaikovsky does an altogether better job in portraying the grotesque poetry of hell.
