4.0 out of 5 stars From quiet & idyllic, thru more dynamic & darker, to loud & heroic, March 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mad About Tchaikovsky (Audio CD)
This is a great sampler of the best compositions of Tchaikovsky - some being the all time classical hits - performed by the great orchestras and the top class conductors. The CD starts from very moody and peaceful music from the ballets, progresses through more dramatic pieces from the symphonies, and ends on the most dynamic and pressing compositions. So, there is a mood progression from quiet and idyllic, through more dynamic and darker, to loud and heroic. High quality digital mastering by Deutsche Grammophon resulted in a good volume and dynamic range (sound is loud and not muffled). It is worth every penny, if you could get your hands on it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good collection, December 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mad About Tchaikovsky (Audio CD)
I was happy with this pleasant assortment. As always, you may have heard more pleasing versions of these pieces elsewhere, but overall most selections are nicely done.

One drawback for me was the entire 1812 Overture is included, all 15 1/2 minutes. I prefer the highlights, that's why I look for collections.
