"Jansons conducts a dazzling performance of the Fourth, unusually fresh and natural in its expressiveness, yet with countless subtleties of expression...a thrilling conclusion made the more so by the wide-ranging, brilliant and realistic recording."
(Three Stars Penguin Stereo Guide on Symphony No 4)

This is the first time that Jansons' Tchaikovsky series has been made available at bargain price.

Six CDs in stylish high-quality packaging

This set collects what has constantly been referred to as key recordings of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, and in an earlier version received a Rosette, and 3 stars, in The Penguin Complete Guide.

This is a limited edition set.
Seen by many as the definitive recorded version of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, this best-selling set is now made available at bargain price for the first time. The recordings, packaged in a new, highly attractive box, have been completely remastered at 24-bit, which really adds to the listening experience, and are also available for the first time as a 6-CD set.

Including the Manfred Symphony and Capriccio Italien, the set remains a unique and generous collection.

Reviews:
