Symphony no. 5 / 1812 Overture

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Berliner Philharmoniker & Seiji Ozawa

Symphony No. 5 and the 1812 Overture are orchestral compositions by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. Both exemplify his Romantic-era orchestral idiom: the symphony develops cyclical motifs and sweeping emotional contrasts as a mature symphonic statement, while the overture uses bold fanfares, expansive orchestration and celebratory sonorities associated with public ceremonial performance.
