About

Written in the last year of his life, this most melancholic of symphonies is forever associated with the tragedy of Tchaikovsky's sudden death in 1893. As an additional special bonus, Christoph Eschenbach performs on piano the seldom performed Dumka (Scenes from a Russian Village), making this unusual coupling a unique release.

This is the seventh CD to be released under what Gramophon ecalled the "formidable Ondine-Eschenbach-Philadelphia partnership", and has produced discs that have been honoured with accolades including BBC Music Magazine's Disc of the Month, Gramophone Editor's Choice and The New York Times' Top Ten Recordings of the Year.

Enthusiastic press followed the release of the previous recordings of Tchaikovsky's Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, each coupled with one half of The Seasons.
