Symphony no.3 ''Polish'' & no.6 ''Pathetique''

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & 日本フィルハーモニー交響楽団 & Kenichiro Kobayashi

Symphony No. 3 'Polish' and Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique' are the third and sixth symphonies by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1875 and 1893 respectively. Both works exemplify Tchaikovsky's late Romantic orchestral style, with the Third featuring dance-like rhythms and lighter orchestration, and the Sixth characterised by expansive lyricism, darkly introspective passages and striking formal contrasts that represent a late-career culmination of his symphonic output.

First released: 21st July 2021
