TCHAIKOVSKY
Symphonies & Other Orchestral Works (Special price)
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra / Israel Philharmonic Orchestra / Zubin Mehta
[ Decca / 5 CD ]
Release Date: Monday 27 March 2006
Tchaikovsky's 4th, 5th and 6th symphonies are as popular on record as in the concert hall and many conductors have recorded these pieces.
The first three symphonies in Tchaikovsky's cycle are less well-known and less frequently recorded. Zubin Mehta recorded this complete cycle in 1977 during his tenure as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the complete cycle appears on CD for the first time as an international release. Also included are some of Tchaikovsky's most popular orchestral pieces — including the ever-popular 1812 Overture and the fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet. The release of this set also coincides with the release of a 6-CD box set with a selection of recordings with Mehta and the Los Angeles, Israel Philharmonic, and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras — a set which charts Mehta's work with these orchestras while a Decca artist in the 1960s and 1970s and which is released to mark his 70th birthday on 29 April 2006.
