Symphony #6 - Tchaikovsky - Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell conducting

Tchaikovsky is said to have composed this while contemplating suicide because of his homosexuality. He said he wept while composing it, and died by drinking disease infected water soon after. IMO it's a great piece of music. Sometimes anguish can produce great art.
