MSO Live - Tchaikovsky Symphonies
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
6 CD set

The complete symphonies of Tchaikovsky are an imperative for any serious record collector. And this recording from the critically acclaimed MSO Live series is set to become a classic. From the first symphony, 'Winter Dreams', written when the composer was just 20 to his sixth and final symphony, which was composed in the last year of his life when he was consumed by shame, anguish and torment, these symphonies provide astonishing insight into the life and emotional journey of one of the greatest composers. Under the baton of Oleg Caetani, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra delivers performances of brilliance, flare, passion and requisite angst. Essential listening.
