"Sian Edwards is a superb conductor and the performances of The 1812 Overture, March Slav, Romeo and Juliet, and Francesca da Rimini are all exciting and gripping, the sound quality is excellent, and the musicianship is outstanding! This will rival any other version by any other conductor. The Penguin Guide rates this CD outstanding and I fully agree.
This particular CD may be unavailable right now, but you can still find a cheaper available alternative from Amazon with Sian Edwards conducting which includes the 1812 Overture, Francesca da Rimini, Marche Slav, Romeo & Juliet, and Tatiana's song. This cheaper version contains exactly the same pieces as this out-of-print version plus the extra soprano solo.
