Symphonie No. 5

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Münchner Philharmoniker & Sergiu Celibidache

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888. The four-movement orchestral work employs lush Romantic-era orchestration, sweeping melodies and a recurring cyclical motif, representing a key example of Tchaikovsky's late symphonic style and his use of thematic transformation and expanded harmonic language within the 19th-century symphonic tradition.
First released: 1997
