Title: Good Tchaikovsky collection at a bargain price.
Review: Tchaikovsky was a great composer, even if some critics have villified his music for being too melodic and too "accessible." Fortunately, the public has been wise enough to see melodic beauty and accessibility as virtues rather than vices. This two CD set presents many of Tchaikovsky's most popular compositions -- all performed well, and some performed outstandingly. In the outstanding category I would place the three works conducted by Leopold Stokowski -- perhaps the greatest conductor of the 20th century -- and the performance of the violin concerto by the great -- but under-appreciated -- violinist, Henryk Szeryng. The works performed by other artists are still quite good. It would be hard to find a better bargain-priced collection of Tchaikovsky's most popular works.
