Symphony No. 4
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Valery Gergiev & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre
Symphony No. 4 in F minor is the fourth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and first performed in 1878. The symphony features expansive Romantic orchestration with dramatic brass and string writing built around a recurring 'fate' motif, and it occupies a pivotal place in Tchaikovsky's output as he moved towards more overtly dramatic and programme-influenced symphonic structures.
