Symphony no. 6 'Pathétique' / Francesca da Rimini

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Заслуженный коллектив России Академический симфонический оркестр Санкт-Петербургской филармонии & Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky

This release is a paired recording of two orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1893 and 1876 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral language — one serving as a symphonic culmination marked by long-breathed melodies, dense orchestration and a sombre final movement, and the other a vivid, programme-driven tone poem characterised by dramatic orchestral colour and narrative gestures, together illustrating his command of large-scale form and emotional contrast in his middle to late career.
