Symphony no. 4 / 1812 Overture

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Софийски Фестивален Оркестър & Julian Kovatchev

Symphony No. 4 / 1812 Overture is a release of orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, with the symphony composed in 1877–78 and the overture completed in 1880. The music exemplifies late Romantic orchestration — the symphony explores recurring fate motifs and expansive lyrical development characteristic of Tchaikovsky's middle-period symphonies, while the overture is an occasional, celebratory piece employing folk-like themes, prominent brass and percussion and large-scale sonic effects associated with 19th-century military spectacle.

First released: 1992
