Symphony No.5 - Capriccio Italien

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & London Symphony Orchestra & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

Symphony No.5 and Capriccio Italien are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. The Fifth Symphony unfolds as a four-movement late-Romantic work built around recurring motifs and broad, expressive orchestration, while the Capriccio Italien is a shorter, episodic orchestral piece that draws on Italian folk rhythms and colourful orchestral textures, together illustrating Tchaikovsky's command of symphonic form and his use of national and programme-like elements in his mature output.

First released: 1988
