Symphony no. 4 / Fantasy Overture "Romeo and Juliet"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Eugene Ormandy

This release is a recording of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, originating from compositions written in 1877–78 and 1869 (subsequently revised 1870 and 1880). It pairs a large-scale late-Romantic symphony that explores dramatic contrasts, cyclical motifs and expanded orchestration with a programme-style overture that juxtaposes stirring, lyrical themes and vivid orchestral colour, illustrating Tchaikovsky's role in shaping symphonic and programme music in the late 19th century.

First released: 1995
