Inspired by Canto V of the "Inferno" of Dante's "Divine Comedy,"
Tchaikovsky initially planned to create an opera on the subject but
abandoned the idea in favor the present 24-minute fantasia for
orchestra in 1876. Bearing all the hallmarks of the composer's late
romantic style, "Francesca da Rimini" takes full advantage of the
powerful orchestral forces employed. The first performance was
given on March 9, 1877 in Moscow, with the RMS Orchestra conducted
by Nikolay Rubinstein. This is a new, digitally enhanced reissue of
the score originally published around 1900 in Leipzig by Ernst
Eulenburg.
