From the Opera House, Manchester
The Fantasy-Overture 'Romeo and Juliet' is one of Tchaikovsky's finest tone poems. It was written in the early eighteen seventies at a period when the composer was in close touch with the leaders of the Russian 'nationalist' group, particularly Balakirev, who suggested the subject to Tchaikovsky. One of the high lights of the work is the middle section, which is based on that exquisite love-theme first heard on the cor anglais—one of the most beautiful melodies that Tchaikovsky ever conceived.
