A. Arensky - Chamber Symphony op. 35a | Amsterdam Sinfonietta

Arensky's Chamber Symphony was created after his second string quartet. He arranged the second movement - a tribute to his teacher Tchaikovsky - into a piece for string orchestra. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/subscribeAmsSin

Amsterdam Sinfonietta commissioned the arrangements of the first and third movement, completing the Chamber Symphony. As a genre, it was made famous by violinist Rudolf Barshai, who arranged two String Quartets by Shostakovich into large and now very popular works for string orchestra and percussion: even Shostakovich liked the larger versions better than the original.
