Symphony №1 “Winter Dreams” • Symphony №2 “Little Russian”

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

This release pairs two orchestral symphonies by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, originally composed in 1866 and 1872. Both works exemplify his early Romantic orchestral style, featuring expansive, lyrical themes, rich and colourful orchestration and the incorporation of folk-influenced material that charts the development of his symphonic voice within 19th-century Russian musical tradition.
