Deutsche Radio Phil:Poppen - Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5/ Slavonic March

This disc continues Poppen's Tchaikovsky cycle with the German Radio Philharmonic on Oehms. Even though Tchaikovsky believed that he had 'written himself out' after his Fourth Symphony, he composed the fifth within a few weeks. The premiere was only moderately successful, but today, Symphony No. 5 is one of Tchaikovsky's most popular works.
