CD Reviews

Great set!

John Costello | Seattle, WA USA | 03/19/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For a bargain issue this a steal. You get the entire Nutcracker ballet, the 1812 overture, Marche slave, Romeo and Juliet, and excerpts of Cinderella by Prokofiev. The performances on this 2fer are all by Mr. Previn and the LSO. The pacing, the warmth and tone of the strings, and all the magic off Tchaikovsky's melodic gift and orchestral mastery shines on this two disk set. This is a set I always put on when I'm not feeling great and I always feel like a different person after I listen to it. I highly recommend this and any other Tchaikovsky recordings that Mr. Previn has done. 5/5!"
