Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайкoвский)(7th May 1840-6th November 1893; Old Style 25th April 1840–25th October 1893) was a Russian composer and one of the greatest of the Romantic era. He wrote some of the world’s most popular concert and theatrical music in the current classical repertoire, including the ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, several symphonies, and the opera Eugene Onegin. His names are also transliterated Piotr, Petr, or Peter Ilitsch, Ilich, Il’ich or Illyich; and Tschaikowski, Tschaikowsky, Chajkovskij and Chaikovsky (and other versions; Russian transliteration varies between languages).
Tchaikovsky was born in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Russian Empire, to a mining engineer and the second of his three wives, a Russian woman of French ancestry. Musically precocious, he began piano lessons at the age of five. He obtained an excellent general education at the School of Jurisprudence and was a civil servant before entering the St Petersburg Conservatory from 1862 (the year of its foundation) to 1865. In 1866, he was appointed professor of theory and harmony at the Moscow Conservatory, established that year. He held the post until approximately 1878.
From 1878, Tchaikovsky focused primarily on composition. Tchaikovsky toured the United States in 1891 conducting performances of his works. In 1893, Tchaikovsky was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Cambridge University.

SHUT UP EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE HELL UP. HE'S NOT ON TOUR YOU RETARDS IT'S OBVIOUSLY A COMPOSER DOING A COVER. IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK HE'S ON TOUR THEN YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LISTEN TO CLASSICAL. AND IF YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY OR CUTE THEN GO GET SOME KIDS SO YOU CAN LAUGH AT SOME STUPID GENETICS.

Give a try to his piano trio, the opus 50. It is absolutely gorgeous and evokes at the same time great passion and infinite sadness, for it was composed after the death of his mentor. I only know the recording by Berezovsky, which is of great quality. Another one with Lang Lang has just been released by Deustche Grammophon.
