Tchaikovsky : Symphony No.6 ("Pathétique"), Romeo and Juliet

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Charles Munch & Boston Symphony Orchestra

This release is a recording of orchestral works by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, featuring a late symphony completed in 1893 and an earlier overture-fantasia composed in 1869–70. The music exemplifies Romantic-era orchestral style, with expansive melodies, rich, colourful orchestration and dramatic contrasts that reflect the composer's mature symphonic language and his engagement with programme-driven themes within nineteenth-century music history.
