Symphonies nos. 4, 5 & 6 “Pathétique”

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

Symphonies Nos. 4, 5 & 6 "Pathétique" is a collection of symphonies by Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski, composed between 1877 and 1893. The works exemplify his late-Romantic orchestral style, characterised by sweeping melodies, vivid orchestration and intense emotional contrasts, and together they chart his development of symphonic architecture and expressive language late in his career.
