Aromatherapy 5 - Heart of Tchaikovsky

Aromatherapy, the quiet moments of classical music. And the fifth volume, The Heart of Tchaikovsky, showcases classical music’s ultimate Romantic, his music often a reflection of his passionate, sometimes torrid life. From the love theme of ‘Romeo and Juliet’, to music from his ballet, ‘The Nutcracker’ and the core of his First String Quartet (Andante cantabile), to the gently drifting slow movement of his First Piano Concerto, this collection offers fifteen of Tchaikovsky’s most memorable themes.
