Symphony no. 4 / Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Colorado Symphony & Marin Alsop

Symphony No. 4 and the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture are orchestral works by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1878 and 1870 respectively. Both exemplify late-Romantic orchestral writing, characterised by expansive melodic development, rich chromatic harmony and vivid orchestral colours, with the symphony structured in multiple movements around cyclical motifs of fate and the overture presenting a concentrated, dramatic tone poem.
