Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" / Romeo and Juliet

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Giuseppe Sinopoli & Philharmonia Orchestra

Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" and Romeo and Juliet are orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1893 and between 1869 and 1880 respectively. The Sixth Symphony, Tchaikovsky's final completed symphony, exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration with expansive melodies and an unconventional slow final movement, while Romeo and Juliet is a programme overture that uses thematic transformation and vivid orchestral colour to depict the drama of Shakespeare's play.
