Product DescriptionWith their abundance of melodic invention, color, lyricism and drama, Tchaikovsky's symphonies trace the composer's progress as both an artist and as a man, reaching their final, shattering climax in the magnificent but heartbreaking Pathétique'. ""Muti's Tchaikovsky cycle with the Philharmonia is one of the most consistent ever,"" wrote Gramophone, ""with the conductor's high voltage tempered by expressive warmth and keen fantasy."" This 5- CD set includes the six symphonies and several of Tchaikovsky's most popular overtures.
