CD Recommendation -- EMI Tchaikovsky Selections

I'd like to share my reactions about a terrific "redbook" CD set I pulled off the shelf and have been enjoying all weekend. It's an EMI Classics 2 disc set, Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker, 1812, Francesca da Rimini & Romeo and Juliet, performed by the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Marisa Jansons conducting. I think the serial # is 7243 5 86076 2 8.

Friends, this is one of best recorded and engineered CDs I have ever listened to. I can't throw enough positive superlatives at the quality of this CD. I don't know if the quality is peculiar to EMI or just this recording, but I strongly suggest trying to find a copy.

Aside from the CD's quality aspects, if you enjoy Tchaikovsky, you will love the selections and performances -- some of his best works and so well performed!! Treat yourself to a copy today.

This disc set renews my hope that redbook CD has a future if the industry would clean up its act.
