Orchestral Suite in G Major, op. 55

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Michael Tilson Thomas

The Orchestral Suite in G major, Op. 55 is an orchestral suite by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1884. The work, Tchaikovsky's final orchestral suite, exemplifies his late-Romantic orchestral language with vivid, colourful scoring, contrasting moods and dance-derived movements that bridge classical suite forms and his mature symphonic style.
