Conductor Charles Hazlewood journeys to Russia in search of clues to uncover the heavily shrouded mysteries surrounding the life of enigmatic composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (played by Ed Stoppard). Through dramatic interpretation and personal insight, Hazlewood paints a portrait of a genius whose inner demons, paralyzing neurosis and closeted homosexuality combined to make Tchaikovsky one of music's most fascinating and troubled figures.
This is a two-part docudrama on the composer's life. THE United Kingdom and the BBC know how to tell an elaborate story of interest.

Tchaikovsky was played magnificently by Ed Stoppard. This is a 'must-see' for anyone who is musically inclined or has a LOVE of music.
