Symphony no. 5 in E minor / Capriccio italien

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell

Symphony No. 5 in E minor and Capriccio Italien are orchestral compositions by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888 and 1880 respectively. The symphony exemplifies Tchaikovsky's late-Romantic orchestral style with expansive themes, rich harmonies and a recurring motif that provides structural unity, representing a mature phase in his symphonic writing; the Capriccio is a lighter, folkloric orchestral fantasia drawing on Italian melodies and colourful instrumental effects, illustrating his interest in national styles and orchestral colour.
