Symphonie No.6 "Pathétique"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 6, Pathétique, is the sixth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and first performed in 1893. A late-Romantic orchestral work characterised by sweeping melodies, rich orchestration and stark contrasts between turbulent and mournful passages, it was Tchaikovsky's final completed symphony and is notable in his career for its unconventional structure that concludes with a slow, sombre movement.
First released: 1972
