A soulful cry depicted through the beautiful sounds of Vienna.
Master conductor Jean Martinon leads the Vienna Philharmonic in a superb performance of Tchaikovsky's final masterpiece, Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique."
The clear sense of form typical of a French conductor is fused with the rich tone of the Vienna Philharmonic. By faithfully playing the drama of the music itself without being overly swayed by emotion, this is a dignified and outstanding performance that highlights the fading loneliness of the final movement.
