Tchaikovksy was a master orchestration. In particular his operas are incredible, totally unique and powerful experiences.

Theres a reason is not on the list.. Hes a different rank

[@Skidoo22]

When those trombones enter and the melody rises up and up, it makes my spine tingle! Mahler conducted the first performance in the USA at the Met in 1910. Anyone know which recording this is? Its not Gergiev. Ozawa?

[@KippaChaos90]

Whoa.... Speechless...

[@mattr7976111]

It strikes me as having a very organic structure, burnished in intelligence and emotional soul.

[@weskerrebirth5849]

Fun fact: this took me several months to find again because I confused the spades with hearts

[@MByrdTheBird]

Debra Roberts I was just listening to that. Amazing song. Decorated my guitar with several Queen of Spades because of it.

[@93naners]

The beginning reminds of the Disney movie Bambi

[@smokefan4000]

Reminds me a lot of Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony

[@oscarwalsdorf8369]

I'm here because of music homework but I'm happy about it.

[@mr.swedishfish12]

Your Highness, It's me, Jack of Spades

[@genericbotface]

@mrotwist Thank you, I will seek it out! :D

[@pedrovski10]

The opening is similiar to the 5th symphony

[@tomascostero9962]

Yep

[@etiennez7149]

From 1:36 to 1:44 it strongly reminds me something else but I can't say what, don't you know ? with an epic ending instead of this soft one.

[@fliegendeeinhornkartoffelx8446]

Etienne Z it reminds me of a part of star wars.. I don't know

[@kerencanelo8580]

Beethoven shits

[@readlots9983]

Could it be Holst's Mars from The Planets?

[@troyking4502]

Swan Lake Overture towards the end.

[@yueandme]

Quick question; is the theme that starts at 1:15 found anywhere else in the opera? And if so, where is it found?

[@rushana1956]

Its fate motive or three cards motive

[@Klassiskmus]

The very first notes of this overture... That is just like the main theme of his Symphony no. 5 1st movement! Any one knows if it reappears in the opera?

[@gambit7775]

@varo2471 did they start looking like elf ears, or did they rotate 180 degrees and grow to twice thier size XD
