Symphonie no. 5 / Overture 1812
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & National Symphony Orchestra & Mstislav Rostropovich
Symphony No. 5 / Overture 1812 is an album of orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, drawing on compositions completed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral style, characterised by sweeping melodies, rich orchestration and dramatic contrasts, and they occupy significant positions in his mature symphonic output and in the broader orchestral repertoire.
