Symphony no. 5 / Swan Lake Suite

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphony No. 5 and the Swan Lake Suite are orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1876 respectively. The music exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral style, featuring rich orchestration, broad melodies and dramatic contrasts, with the symphony developing cyclical thematic material and the suite adapting ballet passages for concert performance, both reflecting key stages in Tchaikovsky's middle-period output and in the development of late-19th-century ballet and symphonic practice.
