VOYEVODA OVERTURE

The Voyevoda from Tchaikovsky is based on the play A Dream on the Volga which was premiered on February 11, 1869. In the 1870s Tchaikovsky destroyed the manuscript full score of the opera, while recycling much of the first act in his opera The Oprichnik. The work has been posthumously reconstructed from surviving orchestral and vocal parts and the composer's sketches. Very skilfully arranged by Fernando Marinho.
