This includes an extraordinary disc - something of an insider’s secret: same conductor, same orchestra, same venue just one year later: Rachmaninov Symphony No. The sound is in the superior tradition of other Regis IMP-licensed discs. At bargain price, which is about £5 each in the UK, this is cheaper by a pound than any Naxos equivalent. As it is, these three discs, available in a single slip-case or separately, are just what the doctor ordered. The pity is that Rozhdestvensky and IMP did not add Manfred and Francesca da Rimini.


This is a success and an easy recommendation if you want Tchaikovsky’s last three numbered symphonies in good and better performances and recordings.
