Symphony no. 6, op. 74 in B minor "Pathétique" / Marche Slave, op. 31

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Yehudi Menuhin

Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74 "Pathétique" / Marche Slave, Op. 31 is a classical album featuring orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, originally composed and first performed in 1893 and 1876 respectively. The release contrasts a late-Romantic symphony characterised by expansive, melancholic slow movements, rich orchestration and a dramatic structural arc with an earlier, martial-inspired orchestral piece drawing on Slavic folk melodies and bold brass writing, illustrating Tchaikovsky's range from introspective symphonic writing to patriotic concert music and marking the symphony as his final completed symphonic statement.
