CD Reviews

I can't recommend this C.D.

John Stubbs | San Diego, CA USA | 12/29/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Besides ignoring Tchaikovsky's own dynamics and tempi, this c.d. is taken from a terrible analog recording from 1978. There are parts that get skipped over probably due to recording glitches but there was absolutely no care taken to smooth the transitions out. This is a poor recording whose flaws could have been overlooked if the performance wasn't so sloppy."
