Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6, Canellakis/LPO (2-CD)

Karina Canellakis Conducts Tchaikovsky features Karina Canellakis leading the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 (Pathétique). Recorded live at London’s Royal Festival Hall, this two-CD release pairs two of the composer’s most profound orchestral statements in performances of intensity, warmth and dramatic sweep.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony unfolds as a journey from shadow to triumph, while the Sixth offers one of music’s most deeply personal and emotionally charged farewells. Long admired for her insight and commanding presence, Canellakis draws vivid playing from the orchestra in readings that honor the LPO’s distinguished Tchaikovsky tradition while bringing fresh urgency and perspective.
