Eugene Ormandy: Tchaikovsky Symphony 7 in E-flat, reconstructed by Semyon Bogatyryov
Philadelphia Orchestra, 1963
1st. movement part 1 , Allegro briliante
1st. movement part 2 , Allegro briliante (This movement was used for the Third Piano Concerto.)
2nd mov part 1, Andante
2nd mov part 2, Andante (Tchaikovsky's friend Sergei Taneyev used this music for the Andante for piano and orchestra, post, Op. 79. More recently, it was reused as the slow movement of a projected Cello Concerto.)
3rd mov , Scherzo (Perceiving that Tchaikovsky would have written a scherzo for this symphony, Bogatyryov orchestrated this piece from the Op. 72 piano works.)
4. Finale: Allegro maestoso Taneyev used this music for the Finale for piano and orchestra, post., Op. 79
A reconstruction of the original symphony from the sketches and various reworkings was accomplished during 19511955 by the Soviet composer Semyon Bogatyryov, who brought the symphony into finished, fully orchestrated form and issued the score as Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No 7 in E-flat major."
Tchaikovsky's Symphony in E flat, op. posthumous, was commenced after the Symphony No. 5, and was intended initially to be the composer's next (i.e., sixth) symphony. Tchaikovsky abandoned this work in 1892, only to reuse much of it in the Third Piano Concerto and Andante and Finale for piano and orchestra.
