TCHAIKOVSKY
In 1893, just nine days after conducting the premiere of what he considered to be his best work, the Sixth Symphony ("Pathetique"), Tchaikovsky is dead.

Tchaikovsky was filmed on location in St. Petersburg, Russia and includes dramatic reconstructions based on the composer’s letters and diaries and performances of some of Tchaikovsky’s best known works. Bonus feature: Omnibus: Who Killed Tchaikovsky?, a 1993 BBC special presentation examining the controversy surrounding Tchaikovsky’s death.
