Symphonie Nr. 6 »Pathétique« / »Romeo & Julia«

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Claudio Abbado

This release is an album of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, centred on his late Sixth Symphony (composed in 1893) and an earlier programmatic overture (composed 1869–1870). It pairs Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic symphonic language—characterised by expansive orchestration, sweeping lyricism and an unusually sombre final movement—with a vividly dramatic, programme-driven overture that together illustrate his development from lyrical melodist to mature symphonist within the nineteenth-century Russian repertoire.
