Symphony no. 5

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra & Manfred Honeck

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and first performed in 1888. The four-movement orchestral work exemplifies late-Romantic harmony and expansive orchestration, featuring a recurring cyclical theme that unifies the movements and contrasting lyrical and dramatic passages, and it occupies a central place in Tchaikovsky's symphonic output as a mature statement of his style.
