Symphonie N° 6 "Pathétique"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & Josef Krips

Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" is the sixth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and premiered in 1893. The late-Romantic work is characterised by expansive melodies, dramatic contrasts, rich orchestration and an unusually weighted slow final movement, and it was Tchaikovsky's final completed symphony, representing a culminating point in his symphonic output and notable within late 19th-century orchestral repertoire.
