Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" / Romeo and Juliet

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Philharmonia Orchestra & Carlo Maria Giulini

Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique' and the fantasy-overture Romeo and Juliet are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1893 and 1870 respectively. Both exemplify his late-Romantic orchestral style, characterised by expansive melodies, vivid orchestration and dramatic contrasts; the symphony is his final completed symphonic statement with an unusually sombre and introspective concluding movement, while the overture illustrates his approach to transforming literary inspiration into large-scale thematic development.

First released: 1993
