Symphony no. 5

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Wiener Philharmoniker & Riccardo Chailly

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888. The four-movement work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing, featuring sweeping melodic lines, rich string and brass textures and a recurring 'fate' motif that unifies the movements, marking it as a late-period statement in the composer's output.
First released: 9th September 2008
