- Audiophile Audition
"... very refreshing, very well recorded ... if you are looking for these works in first rate sound this is without question the recording to get."

"Album of the Week ... thrilling and brilliantly recorded ... the conductor applies his trademark careful and faithful reading of the score while drawing deep on his Russian roots to bring out the full range of emotion and beauty of Tchaikovsky's writing ... all of the orchestral colours shimmer ..."

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony unleash the triumph of Tchaikovsky’s heroic Symphony No. 5 on this live recording. Also on the programme is the passionate Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy-Overture which features one of the best known love themes ever written. The two works are given rapturous performances under a conductor whose Russian roots reveal the very essence of the composer’s emotional output.
