Tchaikovsky - time to rehabilitate?

Originally posted by Beef Oven! View PostTchaikovsky is one of my favourite composers, always has been ever since I can remember. In fact he's a desert island composer for me.
It's queer, that having said that, I play his music less often than I used to and he rarely gets a mention on the forum.
When I was a kid, his music seemed to be everywhere, even more than Beethoven's, now it's a rarity.
Is it not time to restore him, especially given our preference for music from the 1800s?
Lest he suffers the fate of Mendelssohn

Tchaikovsky may not be mentioned on these boards too much but he certainly does not need rehabilitation his music is played regularly in concert, on the radio and recordings proliferate. Mendelssohn seems to be more of a rehabilitation case.

They did indeed, including Vakula the Smith and the remaining scraps of Undine (mostly recycled into Swan Lake)
As for "going on a bit", one hearing on the radio is only the start. My desert island Tchaikovsky opera is The Maid of Orleans (but I'm sure I've said this ad nausiam).
