Mstislav Rostropovich, London Philharmonic Orchestra - Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 1-6

Mstislav Rostropovich, London Philharmonic Orchestra — Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 1-6 (Hybrid SACD)

"Love and charm are among the many qualities which distinguish this richly enjoyable set of the Tchaikovsky Symphonies," wrote Gramophone of the cycle that forms the heart of this collection. Mstislav Rostropovich, like Tchaikovsky, represents the very soul of Russian music. These 1976-77 recordings are remastered for the very first time in high definition from original master tapes and benefit from the high performances of the SACD format to give a level of details never heard before.
