Symphony 5 / Swan Lake Suite

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Nordnorsk Opera og Symfoniorkester & Christian Lindberg

Symphony No. 5 and the Swan Lake Suite are orchestral works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1888 and 1875-76 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral language, characterised by sweeping melodies, rich orchestration and a mixture of dramatic and lyrical passages, and they occupy prominent positions in the orchestral and ballet repertoire.
First released: August 2013
