Tchaikovsky symphony 5 favorite recording

Stokowski, on London with the New Philharmonic orchestra. On London 4-phase, but the performance!

Yevgeny Svetlanov - USSR Symphony Orch. Recorded by Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga ("Melodiya") - Mastered and pressed in the U.S. by Angel/Capitol. Recording 9.0 Performance 9.5 - to my ear.

Svetlanov is nice on this -- and majestic (v. large orchestra). You should compare that version to Klemperer.

dutiot montrael synphony great performence they play with passion and emotion and dutiot conveys the themes very well as they do with all tchikovskys music i also thick ormandy and philidelphia orcestra was very good to the 1960 recording.i think markivish with lenigrad philiharmic is very overrated im still trying to figuer out wuy so many people and critics like it and karajans as well.

Mravinsky / Leningrad Philharmonic on DG. Early 1960s vintage. The LP sounds better than the CD (matter of fact, so does the cassette version).

An enormous surprise for me was, Haitink/Concertgebouw Orchestra on Philips. Hadn't associated him with this repertoire. The sound is gorgeous on the LP but I can't comment on the CD incarnation since I have not heard it.

Best wishes.
