Karina Canellakis conducts Tchaikovsky

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64
Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74 (Pathétique)

Karina Canellakis conductor
London Philharmonic Orchestra

Recorded live at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, it presents two of Tchaikovsky’s most profound symphonies: a revelatory account of the Fifth, with its shifting balance between fate and triumph, and a searingly personal reading of Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique). The Times praised the ‘explosive chemistry between this conductor and orchestra’ while The Arts Desk declared ‘the LPO has a real treasure in Canellakis.’ Together, they continue the Orchestra’s rich tradition of powerful Tchaikovsky performances, offering a recording that is both steeped in legacy and brimming with new life.
