Symphony no. 2 “Little Russian” / Serenade for Strings

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov

Symphony No. 2 'Little Russian' / Serenade for Strings is an album pairing orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1872 and 1880 respectively. Musically, the symphony draws on Ukrainian folk-derived themes within a broad Romantic symphonic framework while the Serenade for Strings employs luminous string textures, classical forms and a more intimate, lyrical sensibility that marks a later phase in Tchaikovsky's compositional development.
