A Sin of my Sweet Youth
No one was harder on himself than Peter Tchaikovsky. He had this to say about his first symphony: "Despite all its glaring deficiencies I have a soft spot for it, for it is a sin of my sweet youth." Take that with the big grain of salt it deserves. Tchaikovsky's First, neither glaring nor deficient, is in today's show, from a concert in Hamburg, Germany.
