About this listen

 Did you know that:
  • Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture famously includes the use of real cannon fire
  • Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" in 1877 was initially met with mixed reviews
  • Tchaikovsky was an accomplished conductor and travelled extensively to conduct his own works
  • “The Nutcracker” did not gain widespread popularity until after Tchaikovsky’s death

Find out about these and many more fascinating events that shaped the life of one of Russia’s most influential Romantic composers in, Classical Giants: Tchaikovsky.

Classical Giants brings to life the most famous composers in history, introducing them to children as real characters who lived and breathed on a real historical timeline.

Take your child on a journey of discovery to learn what the most celebrated composer of Ballet was like as a person, why his life was so dogged with worry; what it was like for him living in Russia during the late 1800’s; what was important to him, what influenced him and what inspired him to create his greatest masterpieces.

“This brilliantly entertaining and informative addition to children’s non-fiction contains a myriad of cross-curricular learning opportunities for the classroom and beyond. English, Music, History, Art, Maths and Science can be taught through this book making it ideal as the beating heart of an exciting and creative Topic web of learning activities. Useful for assemblies too and Social and Emotional learning, adults will enjoy it just as much as children.”

Kathryn Creed, retired Assistant Headteacher and Independent Schools Inspectorate Team Inspector.
