Tchaikovsky: Symphony no 4, etc / Rozhdestvensky, et al

Notes & Reviews:

"A first-class ...recording of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony...a very striking performance, Russian in feeling yet ... never going over the top ...holds back his big guns till just before the big unison horn entry.... It really is an epic moment with the fff of the four horns coming through as it seldom does ... slow movement is phrased very evenly....scherzo is like an arabesque, the string pizzicatos light and gentle.... Then the finale bursts on the listener... with its power to shock at that first fortissimo...the sound hugely expansive." - Gramophone
