Tchaikovsky/Gryaznov - Waltz of the Flowers

Merry Christmas! Here is a concert arrangement of the famous Waltz of the Flowers. I underestimated this piece 2 years in a row, so this year I gave myself plenty of time to prepare for the holiday season. I'm sure my neighbors are tired from 3 months of Christmas by now.

I found this piece to be challenging both technically and musically, as I believe it is written in such a way to encourage a different perspective from the usual orchestral rendition. It is pretty faithful in spirit to the original, although at the end Tchaikovsky suddenly turns into Rachmaninoff.

Recorded on a Steinway D in my living room.
