This review is from: Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture; Symphony No. 6, "Pathetique"; Bedrich Semtana: The Moldau (Audio CD)

This is one of best choices for Tchaikovsky's 1812 Ouverture. In my "chart list of 1812" the first place ex aequo with Dorati & MSO (Mercury). A huge, pure dynamic sound made by Chesky records, very fine orchestration. The Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony (Pathetique) and Smetana's The Moldau enclosed the magic ring of this three classical masterpieces.
