Symphony no. 6 “Pathetique” / Romeo and Juliet

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov

Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" / Romeo and Juliet is a pairing of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed between 1869 and 1893. Both pieces exemplify late-Romantic orchestral writing, featuring sweeping melodies, rich harmonic language and dramatic contrasts, with the symphony standing as the composer’s final, introspective large-scale statement and the overture illustrating his use of programme-driven orchestral colour and thematic development.
