Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 1-3 – London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev


Following his acclaimed Mariinsky DVD of the final three symphonies, Valery Gergiev conducts outstanding performances of the earlier works with the LSO.

Tchaikovsky's early symphonies are full of rich expressive melodies – something for which he had a natural talent. They contain influences of Russian nationalism and folk tunes, particularly in the Second Symphony ('Little Russian') and the First, which hints at a Russian landscape. The choreographer George Balanchine exploited the dance-like nature of the Third Symphony by using it as the basis for the final part of his ballet masterpiece, Jewels.

***** The Guardian (UK)

                     


 "...I was entranced by this 2-CD set from beginning to end. For once, the cliché “unjustly neglected” is totally accurate in describing the shameful overlooking of these three genuine masterpieces...This is a set where everything seems to go right in terms of sound, interpretation and playing. I’ll be very surprised if it’s not on my list of 2012 favourites."  *****

 
Greg Keane - Limelightmagazine.com - 14 November 2012

"...In Gergiev’s hands, none of these three fine symphonies are ‘problem’ works – rather they are adorable pieces of individuality and distinction that receive the strongest possible advocacy. Gergiev and the LSO celebrate the continuous flow of melody, the descriptive writing and the slow movements’ considerable emotion."

Daniel Jaffé - BBC Music magazine - January 2012

 


"... Gergiev presents these early works with utter commitment and great verve. Special mention must be made of the solo contributions, with wind pasages especially winning. Excellent sound..."   *****
