Some notes on this CD

Slobberer | Astoria, NY United States | 05/08/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini comes across as a masterpiece in Mravinsky's hands, right from its highly dramatic beginning, with its huge, grey shadows, all the way through its stormy, gestural world. Here is the highlight of the set, a performance which justifies the financial outlay of both discs. The piece does not sound at all diffuse in Mravinsky's hands (his Tchaikovsky is legendary) and the virtuoso excitement as the piece moves towards its climax is almost unbearable."
