Tchaikovsky

I have been wanting more music by Tchaikovsky http://www.tchaikovsky-research.net/ to listen to.  Yesterday, I made it happen.  I had a gift card for Hastings http://www.gohastings.com/ that I received as a Christmas present.  I loaded  the gift card into my bag (I do not have a purse.  I use a fanny pack.  Maybe I will write about that.) some time ago, but never did get to Hastings. 

I have been looking at Barnes and Noble for some Tchaikovsky but I  did not really find what I wanted.  Well, yesterday, I left work early to go to my tax preparer, and was done with that well before 5 PM.  So, I decided to go to  Hastings to look for some music.

I found something called:  Tchaikovsky, the ultimate collection. This is a 4 CD collection that has music from "Swan Lake," "Sleeping Beauty," "The Nutcracker Ballet." "Aurora's Wedding," "Romeo and Juliet." " Eugene Onegin," and many more, but most importantly what I wanted was "The 1812 Overture."

I already have a very good rendition of "The 1812 Overture."  I am really disappointed with this rendition of "The 1812 Overture," but I am very pleased with much of the rest of the music on these CDs.

Oh well.
