"Steven Isserlis's performance shires because he brings out the seriousness and beauty in Tchaikovsky's melodies as well as dazzling us with his throwaway virtuosity. He also bucks the trend by recording the work in its original, longer version, enlarging the scale of the piece and turning it into one of Tchaikovsky's most perfect creations." 1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die (1851-1900)
