Symphony no. 3 "Polish" / The Tempest, op. 18

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach & Antoni Wit

Symphony No. 3 "Polish" and The Tempest are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed in the mid-1870s. Both pieces sit within Tchaikovsky's Romantic idiom, characterised by expansive melodies, vivid orchestral colour and dance-derived rhythms, with the symphony representing a more dance-inflected, transitional step in his symphonic output and the symphonic fantasy showing his interest in programme-driven dramatic gestures and imaginative orchestration.
