Symphony no. 5 / Eugene Onegin: Polonaise & Waltz

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Bamberger Symphoniker & Heinrich Hollreiser

Symphony No. 5 / Eugene Onegin: Polonaise & Waltz is a compilation recording of works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, presenting his Symphony No. 5 (completed in 1888) alongside orchestral numbers from the opera Eugene Onegin (premiered in 1879). The music exemplifies late Romantic orchestral style, with broad, expressive melodies, rich orchestration and recurring thematic material in the symphony while the operatic excerpts showcase dance forms and lyrical orchestral colour, reflecting Tchaikovsky's mature compositional voice in the late 19th century.
