Symphony no. 6 “Pathétique”

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Symphony No. 6, "Pathétique" is the sixth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed and premiered in 1893. A late-Romantic orchestral work characterised by sweeping melodies, rich orchestration and stark emotional contrasts, it is the composer's final completed symphony and features an unconventional overall structure that has drawn considerable attention in studies of nineteenth-century symphonic music.
First released: April 1963
