Best Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony Recording

+1 for the Pierre Monteux/Boston Symphony on Living Stereo.
But will give the Mravinsky a listen!

I remember the Mravinsky 4,5 and 6 sounding much better on LP.
I recently streamed them and was surprised at how grainy they sounded.
But, I do think they are one of the better versions performance-wise.

Curentzis isn’t entertaining, like that flashy woman you meet a bar, but would be hard to take as a regular partner.  I enjoyed the Kiril Petrenko who really takes a bit of a conservative view, but again I’ll state a preference for Bychkov in terms of striking the right balance between excitement without feeling like it is going to become unhinged.  These 3 recordings seemed to arrive at the same time so I tend to compare them

Curentzis-- ditto what mahler123 said.  It is more of an audiophile showpiece than an insightful piece of art.  A pretty woman with no depth.
