Symphony no. 5 / Capriccio Italien

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Государственный cимфонический оркестр Министерства культуры СССР & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov

Symphony No. 5 and Capriccio Italien are orchestral compositions by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. The symphony employs late-Romantic symphonic form with expansive melodies, rich orchestration and a recurring fate motif that marks a significant point in Tchaikovsky's symphonic output, while the Capriccio is a colourful, folkloric orchestral fantasia drawing on Italian dance rhythms and bright orchestral colour often programmed as a lighter companion piece.

First released: 17th September 1996
