Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky – Symphony No. 5 in E Minor
His Fifth Symphony is one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular works today. A live recording of this work with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and Mariss Jansons from 2009 will now be published in a special edition with the BR-KLASSIK Catalogue 2019 for the 10th anniversary of the BR-KLASSIK Label.
Order online nowThe Symphony No. 5, which came about over a very short time period some twelve years later is today one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular works. As early as the world première in St. Petersburg it was already a great public success. More feeling, more emotion and more drama could hardly be converted into symphonic music; however a superior compositional technique and a ongoingly consummate command of structure keeps the work from ever slipping into superficial mawkishness.
No question about it: Mariss Jansons has just the right pinch of “Russian soul” to bring out this work in to full power: the recording in October 2009 reveal the conductor in perfect unity with his orchestra, a combination capable of bringing ecstasy and control into perfect balance here.
