Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" / Overture 1812 op. 49
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim
This release is an album pairing two orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1893 and 1880 respectively. It juxtaposes a late-Romantic symphony from the composer's final period — characterised by sweeping melodies, dramatic contrasts and a sombre, slow-moving finale — with a large-scale, programme-driven overture that employs abundant brass, percussion and orchestral colour to create a martial, ceremonial soundworld.
