Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 1-6, Manfred, Romeo & Juliet… (5 Hybrid SACD)

‘Muti’s Tchaikovsky cycle with the Philharmonia is one of the most consistent ever, with the conductor’s high voltage tempered by expressive warmth and keen fantasy… This Muti box earns the warmest recommendation,’ wrote Gramophone of the complete symphonies when they first appeared. Complementing them here are further works by Tchaikovsky, including the ‘Manfred’ Symphony and First Piano Concerto with Andrei Gavrilov as a breathtaking soloist.
