About

The Japanese conductor Yutaka Sado studied under Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa and, amongst other awards, won first prize at the Leonard Bernstein International Competition in 1995. Sado was also involved with Bernstein and Michael Tilson Thomas in founding the Pacific Music Festival. On this new hybrid SACD recording of Tchaikovsky’s ever popular Fifth Symphony and the same composer’s Marche Slave, Yutaka Sado directs the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

The world premiere of the Fifth Symphony took place in St. Petersburg on November 1888 under Tchaikovsky’s baton, and it was an immediate success. Since then it has become one of the most frequently performed and popular pieces in the repertoire. Like Symphony No.4, the Fifth is a cyclical symphony due to the recurrence of the "motto" theme in more than one movement. Unlike the Fourth, however, the theme is heard in all four movements, a feature Tchaikovsky had first used in the Manfred Symphony, which was completed less than two years before the Fifth.
