Symphony no. 4 / Francesca da rimini

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Andris Nelsons & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 4 / Francesca da Rimini is a pairing of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1877 and 1876 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic Russian orchestral style, with the Fourth Symphony structured around a recurring 'fate' motif and broad, emotionally charged contrasts, while Francesca da Rimini is a vividly programme tone poem that employs dramatic orchestration and thematic depiction of a literary narrative.
