ANDRÉ PARFENOV (b.1972): Aachener Walzer, Tango WS from Werner Sahm Suite, Piloten-Tango from Klavier Sinfonietta “Überlingen 23:26” (all three preceding are for Piano and Orchestra), Violin Concerto, Orchestral Suite Kasimir Malevich, PETER TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893): Suite No. 4 “Mozartiana”.

Description: Tchaikovsky stayed in Aachen for six weeks in 1887, during which time he orchestrated his Mozartiana. He also left behind 16 bars of music from his diary, and the Aachener Walzer is André Parfenov’s completion of this otherwise unknown mini-waltz. Further works by Parfenov include a Violin Concerto on the subject of war, peace and human symbiosis, and a reflection on the life of a remarkable avant-garde painter in his Malevich Suite.
