Suite no. 3 in G major, op. 55

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra & Kirill Kondrashin

Suite No. 3 in G major, Op. 55 is an orchestral suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1884. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration with dance-inflected movements, bright brass and woodwind colours and a generally pastoral character, and it stands as one of Tchaikovsky's later contributions to the orchestral suite repertoire reflecting his interest in concise, varied forms.
First released: 1962
