Music for Cello & Orchestra

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & English Chamber Orchestra & Geoffrey Simon & Raphael Wallfisch

Music for Cello & Orchestra is a collection of works for cello and orchestra by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed between 1876 and 1893. Rooted in the late Romantic tradition, the pieces feature lyrical cello lines, sweeping orchestral textures and concertante interplay that illustrate the composer's melodic style and occupy a distinctive place among his later orchestral output.
