Tschaikowsky: Symphony No. 5 / Symphony No. 6 (Pathetique)

Tchaikovsky's Fifth and Sixth Symphonies stand among his most powerful and emotionally revealing works - one surging with fate and defiance, the other steeped in poignancy and introspection. These live recordings from the Royal Festival Hall capture the London Philharmonic Orchestra in full flight under Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis. With every phrase charged with purpose, this pairing offers a compelling portrait of Tchaikovsky's genius in the hands of one of today's most exciting musical partnerships.
