Symphony no. 5 / Francesca da Rimini

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & Paavo Järvi

Symphony No. 5 and Francesca da Rimini are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888 and 1876 respectively. Both exemplify his late-Romantic orchestral style—Symphony No. 5 employs a recurring 'fate' motif and expansive, lyrical orchestration, while Francesca da Rimini is a dramatic symphonic poem inspired by Dante with turbulent textures and vivid orchestral colour that reflect a programme-driven narrative in his output.
