Tschaikowsky

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Herbert von Karajan, ...

Polygram Records, 1993

Excellent Tchaikovsky Fifth
Karajan and the VPO are on fire here. This is an urgent, powerful performance. I think I may actually prefer this one to the 1976 BPO Karajan performance. It's less polished but more passionate. Aside from a few minor flubs, the VPO has rarely sounded better: such a ...

Tschaikowsky and Prokofiev:Klavierkonzerte

Sergey Prokofiev, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

Polygram Int'l, 1984

ANOTHER GEM!
The Tchaikovsky is one of my favourite concertos and is my main concern and consideration here. My standard, reference, definitive and ultimate recording has always been the classic performance by Van Cliburn with Kiril Kondrashin and the RCA Symphony Orchestra in ...

Tschaikowsky: Symphonie No. 6 "Pathetique"

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Herbert von Karajan, ...

Polygram Records, 1993

Why autumnal Karajan is great (sometimes)
DG has issued Karajan's last (mid-80s) Tchaikovsky symphonies in nicely remastered sound that is quite rich and full, with a fantastic dynamic range. The Vienna Phil. sounds superb, evidencing none of the brashness another reviewer finds (strangely), although there is ...

Pincus and the Pig: A Klezmer Tale

Piotr Ilyitch Tschaikowsky, David / McLaughlin, Michael Dickson Glenn / Harris, ...

Tzadik, 2004

clever...funny...and dare I say, rocking?
The concept is quite simple--John Zorn's label, Tzadik, aside from putting out CDs of intriguing music from Japan, also devotes a whole section of its catalog to promoting contemporary Jewish music. Aside from John Zorn's own band, Masada, Tzadik has put out wonderful ...

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Seiji Ozawa, ...

Orfeo D'or, 2004

Tschaikowsky: Ouvertüre "1812"; Romeo & Julia; Capriccio italien [Germany]

Tchaikovsky, Ipo, ...

Deutsche Gram. Ger., 1994

Excellent performances, excellent sound quality!
I have many different versions of the 1812 overture, Francesca Da Rimini, Romeo & Juliet, and Capriccio Italien. This version is one of my favorites; it only gets better with repeated listenings. The Francesca Da Rimini is played somewhat expansively and slightly ...

Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Works for Harmonium, Vol. 4

Sigfrid Karg-Elert

Cpo Records, 2000

Worth Having.
. This two-disc set is worth having at the price, especially as it seems Vols. 1 & 2 are not offered on Amazon. Really, Vol. 1 is the best of the five volume set. Vol. 2 is good also, but the sound is a little muffled. If you're really enthusiastic or curious about ...

Marimba When...Leigh Howard Stevens plays the great Albums for the Young

Tschaikowsky, Kachaturian, ...

Resonator Records, 1999

A personal review from Dr. Splat Bar Jr. (read entire review)
Ok, if you're looking up this CD then the chances are that you have already heard of Leigh Howard Stevens. You've probably heard that he is a great technical musician, which you will find incorrect when you listen to his CD. I mean, he can do all of those one handed ...

Tschaikowsky Klavierkonsert No. 1

MISC

Speed kills
Allegro non troppo -- that's how Tchaikovsky marks the first movement. Many reviewers are extolling the Argerich and Horowitz recordings of the Tchaikovsky 1st PC, and if those are their gold standards, it would be easy to see why they find the Karajan tempo too slow. ...

Tschaikowsky: Concerto for Violin & Orchestra in D major, Op. 35; Serenade for Strings in C major, Op.

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Alfred Wallenstein, ...

Profil - G Haenssler, 2005

Perlman's Earliest Tchaikovsky Concerto Recording
Itzhak Perlman has recorded the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto a number of times. No wonder, as it's a work that he is intimately associated with and one that perfectly matches his style of playing, with that big sweet tone, juicy vibrato, ability to spin a long legato ...

Tschaikowsky: Sinfonie Nr. 4

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Ferenc Fricsay, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

A gripping, single-minded performance--irresistible
This 1957 mono recording is the kind you can hear five minutes of while walking through a record store and immediately have to buy, as I did. (It is also over-priced when you conisder that it comes in a flimsy cardboard case with a single paragraph of liner notes.) ...

Anna Tomowa-Sintow singt Tschaikowsky, Verdi, Strauss
Richard Strauss, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

Berlin Classics, 2007

Edvard Grieg, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

Berlin Classics, 2007

Tschaikowsky: Piano Concertos 1 & 2 / Cherkassky, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Leopold Ludwig, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Marvelous Performances
I have quite a few recording by Shura Cherkassky but I was prompted to buy this one after hearing the last two movements of the Tchaikovsky Second Piano Concerto played on the radio. I thought that the playing of the concerto was very different from what I had heard ...
