Symphony no. 1 ’’Winter Reveries’’ & no. 4

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & 日本フィルハーモニー交響楽団 & Kenichiro Kobayashi

Symphony No. 1 "Winter Reveries" and Symphony No. 4 are orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1866 (No. 1) and 1877–78 (No. 4) respectively. The first is an early, programme-inflected Romantic symphony characterised by light, lyrical themes and classical forms, while the Fourth reflects his middle-period orchestral style with denser harmonic language, expanded instrumentation and recurring motifs that contribute to its greater dramatic scope.

First released: 26th May 2021
