Tchaikovsky - Album for the Youth Op.39

Tchaikovsky wrote his Album for the Youth Op.39 in summer 1878, following the example set by Schumann in 1848 with his Album for the Young. These are attractive small pieces of modest scope and ambition, full of Russian atmosphere, and actually I like this set much better than Schumann's. I recorded these on april 4, 2015 on my Gaveau grand, using a Tascam DR-2D recorder. The images are predominantly Russian, and as relevant to the piece in question as I found find. 00:15 1 : Morning Prayer --- Mykola Pymonenko - Easter morning prayer in Malorosia (1891) 01:37 2 : Winter Morning --- Alexei Savrasov - Winter (c.1870) 03:40 3 : The little Horseman --- Pazyryk felt artifact (Carpet Detail), 5th-4th century BC 04:28 4 : Mama --- Anatoly Sokolov - Peasant Women 06:00 5 : Soldier's March --- Glorious Little Soldiers 06:55 6 : The sick Doll --- William Powell Frith - The Sick Doll (1885) 08:34 7 : The Doll's Funeral --- Nikolai Yaroshenko - Burial of the newborn (1893) 10:12 8 : Waltz --- Mihály Zichy - Ball in the Winter Palace Concert Hall (1840) 11:29 9 : The new Doll --- Little girl and her doll in San Francisco 12:25 10 : Mazurka --- Edgar Degas - Russian Dancers, c.1899 13:39 11 : Russian Song --- Ilja Repin - The Zaporozhe Cossacks write a letter (1880-91) 14:24 12 : The Accordion Player --- Anatoly Sokolov - The Accordeon Player 15:17 13 : Kamarinskaya --- Alexei Ivanovich Korzukhin - Eve-of-the-Wedding Party (1889) 16:04 14 : Polka --- Akhmed Kitaev - Into a new life 17:01 15 : Italian Song --- William-Adolphe_Bouguereau- Before The Bath (1900) 17:48 16 : Old French Song --- Watteau - The Love Song (c. 1717) 18:57 17 : German Song --- Adolf Eberle - ??? 19:54 18 : Neapolitan Song --- Apollon Mokritsky - On the Terrace, Rome (1846) 21:02 19 : Nursery Tale --- Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky - New Fairy Tale (1831) 22:01 20 : The Sorcerer --- George Cattermole - Scene of the Three Witches from Shakespeare's Macbeth (1840) 22:50 21 : Sweet Dreams --- Albert Anker - Sleeping Boy in the Hay 25:17 22 : Lark Song --- Jules Breton - The End of the Working Day (1886-1887) 26:56 23 : The Organ-Grinder --- Konstantin Korovin - The Organ Grinder of Alexeev 27:48 24 : In Church --- Russian Icon - Three Saints: St. Nicholas, St. Spyridon, St. Anthony
