Synopsis

Amazon.com

Sir Georg Solti's Romeo and Juliet is very good, though if you want all of his Tchaikovsky symphony recordings you'll wind up owning it twice, since it's also coupled with his recording of the Fourth Symphony. Very dumb, London. Anyway, the symphony gets a rousing, typically hard-driven performance that's superbly played and well recorded. There may be more subtle performances around, but no one hearing this will find much to complain about. --David Hurwitz

"Solti's performance is so great that I made Solti & CSO to be my first choice about this symphony. Muravinsky's editoins are good, but Solti's it the best of my mind. Emotion and power are combined together!"

"Sigh. It pains me to have to do this, but this is not the definitive performance of Tchaikovsky's Sixth. Where the heck is my beloved Chicago brass! Solti and his Chicago players have had a rare off-day. Now the Romeo and Juliet recording is quite good, but I don't know if it's worth the price of the whole CD, although it could be if you've got money to burn (hard to pass up any good performance of the Chicago Symphony)."
