Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Carlo Maria Giulini

Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique' is the sixth symphony by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed and premiered in 1893. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral symphony characterised by sweeping melodies, rich orchestration, stark emotional contrasts and an unusually slow, sombre finale, and it stands as Tchaikovsky's last completed symphony, frequently discussed for its place in his late style and its influence on subsequent symphonic writing.
First released: 1981
