1.0 out of 5 stars Overdone and not well played, January 4, 2007

I suspect the person asking 30 bucks for this CD has no idea how bad it really is. The orchestral playing is very unrefined and the interpretations are way too emotional. Play this music straight and you get all the emotion you need. If you find this CD at your local flea market for less than 5 bucks, it may be worth it just to hear how Tchaikovsky should not be played. Otherwise, simply ignore the 30 dollar asking price here.

4.0 out of 5 stars not very original but good sound, January 14, 2006

At some moment the originality is lost. From Pjotr his fourth and first look very much alike. This is good though. Buy it if you are a real fan of Pjotr`s music.
