TCHAIKOVSKY: SYMPHONIES 4,5,6: MRAVINSKY: LENINGRAD PHILHARMONIC (2CD)

“Mravinsky’s stereo version of the 5th would occupy a distinguished place in any collection: full of Slavonic vitality … romantic and red-blooded. … exhilaratingly fast finale … reading of such fire and individuality” “his very Russian account of the 6th is justly renowned … deeply passionate, yet introduced with much tenderness … last two movements very fine indeed … finale moving without losing control”.(Penguin 3*)
