Symphony no. 6 ‘Pathetique’ / Souvenir de Florence

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Domingo Hindoyan

This release is a classical album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky presenting two late-period works composed in 1890 and 1893. One is a large-scale symphonic work characterised by expansive orchestration, turbulent dramatic contrasts and a poignant, unconventional finale, while the other is a string sextet that concentrates on rich chamber textures, intricate counterpoint and lyrical melodies, together reflecting the composer's late-career exploration of intense emotional expression within Romantic idioms and his impact on both symphonic and chamber repertoire.
