- Who Killed TchaikovskyE11
Who Killed TchaikovskyA hundred years ago Tchaikovsky died suddenly In St Petersburg, within days of conducting the work many consider to be his greatest, the Pathétique Symphony. How did the great composer meet his death? Officially, he died of cholera, but a Russian emigre living in America has produced evidence to show that he was forced to commit suicide. Anthony Holden conducts an investigation into the mystery, and the film follows clues in New York, St Petersburg and Moscow, clues within the music and the known facts of Tchaikovsky's life, in search of the facts behind the composer's untimely death.
