Tchaikovsky - Hamlet Overture

[@demetdemet5746]

Always the greatest compesor:TCHAIKOVSKY.

[@wendychen5779]

Excellent performance and interpretation. Tchaikovsky catches the spirit of the eerie "ghost" and the tragic fate of the Prince of Denmark in this work (twin of his "Romeo and Juliet" fantasy overture) with haunting melodies and instrumental colors (especially from the melancholic oboe).

[@frankreedy6437]

No comparison to T’s exquisite Romeo and Juliet overture IMO...Hamlet seems to be a distraction to him...perhaps he was composing another piece at the same time and didn’t emphasize this one...T was a very complicated and talented musical composer but this is not among his finest works...

[@tomascostero9962]

@@frankreedy6437 maybe he composed this at young age

To Quote A Christmas Story "With as much dignity as he could muster, the Old Man gathered up the sad remains of his shattered Major Award. Later that night, alone in the backyard, he buried it next to the garage. Now I could never be sure, but I thought that I heard the sound of "Taps" being played, gently." CLASSIC COMEDY!!!! ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!

The question is, who took from the other? Both of them (I mean the symphonies) was composed in 1888.

Tchaikovsky dedicated this work to Grieg.

Would be intriguing to know what weird and wonderful compositions would have come from him had he lived another 20years. Would he have embraced 20 century-isms. Or would he have remained an ultra-romantic?!' I think his music would have become darker and darker in mood, rarely getting into the high register.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Who knows? Tchaikovsky was indeed a fan of the young Richard Strauss, and he had met Mahler, but never got acquainted with his music. But, Tchaikovsky did have a large love for melody. He revered many Italian opera composers almost as much as his dear Mozart. It would be hard to say whether he would approach the world of modernism quite as much as others, but I do believe he would embrace it in a sense, especially evident by this extremely underrated work, as well as his Symphonies.

I think, if his tendency toward depression mellowed out, he may have moved toward a Sibelius like style. But more likely his depression would have driven him mad, and melodies more intricate and his violent and motifs would have become bolder and more chaotic. But we will never know. Had society know about depression then what they know now, maybe professionals could have saved his life.
