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

Symphonies Nos. 4, 5 & 6 "Pathétique" is a collection of orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed between 1877 and 1893. Spanning late-Romantic orchestral style, these symphonies feature expansive melodic writing, bold and colourful orchestration and pronounced emotional contrasts, with the Sixth (the Pathétique) as Tchaikovsky's final symphony representing the culmination of his symphonic output and an important milestone in late-Romantic Russian music.
