From the light Symphony No. 1 ("Winter Dreams"), a youthful work that conjures images of Russian landscapes, to the poignant and tragic Symphony No. 6 ("Pathétique"), deeply marked by the composer's fatum motif and first performed just over a week before his death, the full scope of Tchaikovsky's life resounds in these profoundly moving works, each a masterpiece in its own right.
