Symphonie no. 6 "Pathétique"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Wiener Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Pathétique, is the sixth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and first performed in 1893. The work, representative of late-Romantic orchestral writing, features rich, densely scored orchestration, stark emotional contrasts and an unusually sombre concluding movement, and it stands as the composer's final completed symphony, marking a pivotal moment in his symphonic output.
