柴可夫斯基一共創作六部交響曲，創作第五號交響曲時，柴可夫斯基剛移居莫斯科近郊的克林，當地美麗的風景對他的創作起了很大的幫助。第五號交響曲雖然不脫柴可夫斯基作品裡的陰鬱，但是比四、六號交響曲更多了些優雅的氣質。

這張唱片雖然是穆拉汶斯基很久之前的錄音，但是其難以超越的經典性與重要性卻是歷經數十年而不變，列寧格勒愛樂在粗獷中流露出真情，音響效果的氣勢與表情相當精確。

Peter Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 - The Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jewgenij Mrawinskij

Recordings of Tchaikovsky’s late symphonies with the Leningrad Philharmonic under Mravinskij were a legend even in the days of mono recording technique. It comes as no surprise therefore to learn that Tchaikovsky fans were overjoyed when these three great symphonies were released at last on the Yellow Label in top hi-fi quality at the beginning of the Sixties. Masterful performances, as thrilling as live recordings, now became available – recordings which were far superior to all others on the market. Even when the purported ‘miracle’ of digital recording technique began to take over and industrial record production had become a matter of course, Mravinsky’s recordings were still available in a 2CD set. There are reasons enough to re-release the Fifth Symphony as an individual LP, without going into lengthy discussions about which of Tchaikovsky’s late symphonies is the most important. Those who treasure a mono version or a Mravinsky recording from an unknown source in their collection are now given the opportunity to compare their version with the present re-release. All others can congratulate themselves on possessing a milestone recording, a true work of reference, for no other Mravinskij sounds better than this one.
