Michael Tilson Thomas / Claudio Abbado / Ferdinand Leitner

Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 4 (2CD)

All the performances have been justifiably critically appraised. This volume includes First, Second and Fourth Symphonies, the latter two with Abbado, and the First in Michael Tilson Thomas's suave, fairy-lights recording with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. "Michael Tilson Thomas's way with it yields a performance of grace and elegance, and the orchestra follows his lead with verve and finesse" wrote Michael Steinberg for the recording's first CD reissue on Deutsche Grammophon's venerated `Originals` series.
