Symphony No. 5 / Marche Slave

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & West Australian Symphony Orchestra & Vladimir Igorevich Verbitsky

Symphony No. 5 and the Marche Slave are orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1876 respectively. Stylistically rooted in the Romantic tradition, the Fifth Symphony employs a recurring motto theme and expansive orchestration as a late symphonic statement in Tchaikovsky's output, while the Marche Slave is a compact nationalistic march that draws on Slavic folk melodies, martial rhythms and vivid brass writing to evoke patriotic fervour.
