Symphony no. 2 in C minor, op. 17 / Symphony no. 2 in C minor (original first movement) 1872

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Российский национальный оркестр & Mikhail Pletnev

Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 is the second symphony by Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1872 with the original first movement dating from that year. A Romantic-era orchestral work characterised by robust orchestral colour, expansive melodies and the incorporation of folk-influenced themes, it occupies a place in Tchaikovsky's early mature output as he developed his command of large-scale symphonic form and orchestration.
