Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36 / Romeo & Juliet, Fantasy Overture

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Georgian Festival Orchestra & Jahni Mardjani & Vato Kahi

This release is a recording of two orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in the late 1860s and 1870s. One work is a four-movement symphony characterised by a dramatic opening movement and lyrical slow movements that reflect the composer's late-Romantic orchestral language and personal turmoil, while the other is a programme overture that projects a dramatic narrative through sweeping melodies, vivid orchestration and thematic transformation, illustrating Tchaikovsky's role in the development of Russian Romantic orchestral writing.

First released: May 1994
