Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 and The Tempest, Op. 18 are orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1872–1873. The symphony incorporates Ukrainian folk-derived themes and late-Romantic orchestration while the orchestral fantasy employs dramatic, Shakespeare-inspired tone painting, both reflecting Tchaikovsky's move towards larger-scale expressive forms in his early career.
