Tchaikovsky Stokes David Wilson Johnson Bedford Matthews Kensington Symphony Orchestra Southwark Cathedral 1865 1978
Tchaikovsky's Cantata to a translation of Schiller's "Ode to Joy" was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1865. Because it was written for his graduation examinations at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Tchaikovsky considered it an "immature" work, so it remained unpublished during his lifetime. The work requires four soloists, chorus and orchestra and received its first British performance in the Southwark Cathedral, near London Bridge, on 28 November 1978. The vocal soloists were Valerie Hill, soprano; Elizabeth Stokes, contralto; William Kendal, tenor, and David Wilson-Johnson, bass. The Kensington Choir, Stoke-on-Trent Bedford Singers and the semi-amateur Kensington Symphony Orchestra were conducted by Leslie Head. The audio is not of professional or broadcasting standard, having been privately recorded in the cathedral some distance from the performers. However, as it was the UK Premiere of a rarely-played student work by a composer who went on to become one of the world's greatest, it is presented here out of historic interest. The Russian text, itself translated from the German, is here given in an English translation by Roland Matthews. It should be noted that the words are subjected to frequent and overlapping repetitions throughout the whole work.
