Overture "1812" / Serenade For Strings

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti

This album pairs two orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, both composed in 1880. They showcase Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral style, contrasting expansive, ceremonial orchestration and prominent brass and percussion with intimate, lyrical string writing, and they occupy a prominent place in his mature output as examples of his command of orchestral colour and large-scale form.

First released: November 1981
