Symphony No.5 in e Minor Op.64
II.Andante cantabile, con alcuna licenza

Composer: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Conductor: Xia Xiaotang

As a symphony often compared to Beethoven’s Symphony No.5, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 is also known as Tchaikovsky's “Symphony of Fate”.
The Symphony portrays the theme “Fight against Fate”, depicting the composer’s struggles for a better future, and illustrates the theme of “light triumph over darkness”.
The Symphony is also one of the repertoires of the China Philharmonic Orchestra. We had performed the Fifth Symphony in different cities such as Tehran, the capital of Iran, and Irkutsk of Russia, spreading the optimism and determination embedded in this piece of symphony throughout the whole world.
