Tchaikovsky 'December' - 'Noël' ("The Seasons") - David Matthews, arranger; Carl Davis conducts
Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons" is a set of twelve short character pieces for solo piano. Each piece is the characteristic of a different month of the year in Russia. Each one is accompanied by 'poetic epigraphs' and "December" has the following:

The work is also heard in orchestral arrangements and the 'December' month uploaded here - in effect another of Tchaikovsky's many delightful waltzes - comes from the transcription of "The Seasons" arranged by composer David Matthews. It is played by the Norddeutsche Rundfunk Orchestra, conductor Carl Davis, and is taken from a 1991 radio broadcast of the complete work's first performance. However, this arrangement has yet to receive its first commercial recording.
Update ... Here is "February" from the same Matthews orchestrated set ...
