Symphony no. 2 "Little Russian"
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & London Symphony Orchestra & Geoffrey Simon
Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17, "Little Russian" is the second symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1872. The symphony draws on Ukrainian folk melodies and juxtaposes broad lyrical themes with vigorous dance rhythms and rich orchestration, reflecting Tchaikovsky's early experiments in large-scale symphonic form and his growing command of orchestral colour.
