Symphony no. 2 "Little Russian" / Overtures

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Göteborgs Symfoniker & Neeme Järvi

Symphony No. 2 "Little Russian" / Overtures is a collection of orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, centred on the Second Symphony which was composed and first performed in 1872. The music combines Romantic-era orchestral colour, folk-derived melodies and energetic rhythms, reflecting an early phase in Tchaikovsky's career when he was consolidating his symphonic technique and incorporating nationalist elements into his larger-scale works.
