Symphony No. 5 / Overture 1812

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Symphony No. 5 and the 1812 Overture are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. The Fifth Symphony is built around a recurring, brooding theme that guides a tightly organised four-movement structure, while the 1812 Overture is a programme piece that employs marches, folk-like melodies and unconventional percussion including cannon fire and church bells to create a large-scale, celebratory finale, together illustrating Tchaikovsky's range within the late Romantic orchestral tradition.
