Dvořák: Carnival Overture

Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture

Anton Dvorák’s Carnival Overture is part of the 1892 triptych “Nature, Life, and Love,” consisting of three overtures: In Nature’s Realm, Carnival, and Othello.

Shakespeare’s tragedy and Tchaikovsky’s tortured personal life crash together in the dramatic and achingly beautiful Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture.
