Symphony no. 4 / Capriccio Italien
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Daniele Gatti
Symphony No. 4 and Capriccio Italien are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1877–78 and 1880–81 respectively. The symphony presents a large-scale, emotionally charged late-Romantic structure exploring themes of fate and orchestral colour, while the lighter, folk-influenced capriccio showcases vivid orchestration and together they illustrate Tchaikovsky's evolving style and place in late 19th-century Russian music.
