Absolutely worth gushing about January 6, 2007

The sound quality is top-notch and the pieces are truly magnificent. Muti shrouds the music in a robust clarity with a tempo that feels neither rushed nor languid. This rendition of Tchaikovsky's 4th was the first Tchaikovsky symphony I had ever listened to, and as soon as I heard it I became spellbound despite the fact that others had warned me to start with some of his more famous works. As particular as I am about my music, there are honestly no complaints I can offer regarding this fabulous, lushly played recording.

At this price, this is a must have for any Tchaikovsky or Scriabin admirers.These are among the best recordings of "The Philadelphia Sound. Especially, "Prometheus", the magic symphony of Scriabin is very impressive, in some passages very whirling, contemplative or ecstatic. As you know, Scored for large ensemble: quadruple woodwinds, 8 horns, 5 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, gong, 2 glockenspiels, large 5 bells, 2 harp, celesta, strings, piano, organ and "Luce" (light organ). So, during the all work, the light organ shows 12 colours equals to 12-note or keys (in one scale) in organ to all concert hall. And some colours mean that: Green - Matter, Yellow - Joy, Creativity - Bright Blue, Human - Red etc... There is an anecdote about the first performance in U.S.A.: in 1950's, Leopold Stokowski was conducted this work with The Philadelphia Orchestra (!). And in a passage of work, the light organ was showed "Red" colour and this was be very long, so, a woman spectator was dead because of heart disease! As you know, Scriabin was started a new work: Mysterium! But, unfortunately, he couldn't finish this work (he was dead because of a lip tumor!!). And he was written a new part for: perfume for to spread to all concert hall... In other words: Highly recommended.
WOW! Just speechless.... December 18, 2002

I don't know what to say. The brass section in this recording is just ungodly amazing. The trumpets project, the horns have the most resonant and in-tune sound you'll find, and the low brass just gives it to you. When Tchaikovsky's 4th is done, you'll just be craving for more. Muti does an astounding job with this symphony because there is never a dull moment. If you're a brass player or just loves brass like Muti does, then this recording is definately for you.
