Watch Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 1 'Rêves d'hiver' - Valery Gergiev, Mariinsky Theater Orchestra

Valery Gergiev starts recording Tchaikovsky's symphonies with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra. Tchaikovsky composes the Fifth ten years after the Fourth. He spends five years afterwards composing the last work of this symphonic epopee, the Sixth, also known as "Pathetic". His last three symphonies are considered united by a common idea, the one of the man in front of his destiny.
