Symphony no.6 "Pathétique" / Serenade for Strings op. 48

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Daniele Gatti

This album is a recording of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, presenting pieces composed in 1880 and 1893. It pairs an earlier string‑serenade piece characterised by transparent textures, lyrical string writing and classical forms with a late‑Romantic symphonic work from 1893 that features expansive melodies, rich orchestration and a dramatic arc that closed the composer's symphonic output, offering a clear view of his evolving orchestral language.
First released: 2006
