Tchaikovsky's Fifth

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra
Franz Welser-Möst, conductor
Paul Jacobs, organ

Overview

Tchaikovsky is often considered the most Romantic of composers. His Fifth has long been an audience favorite — ever since its premiere in 1888 — for its soaring, memorable melodies and deeply passionate emotional richness. Paired here with a concerto for organ performed by audience favorite Paul Jacobs.

[Pop culture note: The melody of Tchaikovsky's second movement was lifted for many popular songs, such as “Moon Love,” recorded by Glenn Miller and Chet Baker.]
