Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" / Polonaise from Eugen Onegin

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique' and the Polonaise from Eugene Onegin are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1893 and 1879 respectively. The symphony exemplifies Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral language with expansive melodies, dramatic climaxes and a sombre finale, while the Polonaise demonstrates his operatic dance writing through rhythmic vigour and nationalistic colour, reflecting his late and middle-period approaches to orchestral and stage composition.
