Symphonies

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Большой симфонический оркестр имени П. И. Чайковского & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

Symphonies is the cycle of six numbered symphonies by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed and first performed between 1866 and 1893. They exemplify late-Romantic orchestral writing with sweeping melodies, rich orchestration and expansive symphonic forms, charting Tchaikovsky's development from early lyricism to more dramatic, large-scale statements that occupy a central place in the Russian symphonic repertoire.
