Tchaikovsky struggled to complete Souvenir de Florence – but you wouldn’t be able to tell. A string sextet inspired by fond memories of time in Italy, the piece came at the height of the composer’s career, and its power and passion really stop you in your tracks. Here, it sits in between the Overture from Rossini’s comic opera The Barber of Seville – a piece whose high energy and drama even inspired a 1950 episode of Looney Tunes – and Bizet’s impressive Symphony in C, a work the composer created when he was just 17 years old.
