(January 2020) Episode 248 of the “opus project” is PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY. Mr. Saccharine Strings. Tchaikovsky is the Queen (band) of classical composers: very talented, wildly popular, played often, but merely gives a sugar (plum) rush that turns out to be empty calories.
Favorite piece: 1812 Overture
Favorite symphony: #5
Favorite balletic theme: Swan Lake
