TCHAIKOVSKY: Symphony No. 4 in f, op. 36; Romeo and Juliet – Russian National Orchestra/ Mikhail Pletnev, conductor – PentaTone
Readers, you have no idea how surprised I am at myself seeing those five stars in the header.
“TCHAIKOVSKY & Shakespeare” = TCHAIKOVSKY: Hamlet: Fantasy Overture; The Tempest; Romeo and Juliet: Overture Fantasy – Simón Bolívar Sym. Orch. of Venezuela / Gustavo Dudamel – DGG
An excellent Tempest and respectable versions of the other tone poems. Not a first choice but very listenable.
Stokowski Chicago Debut Concerts = BACH: Four Chorale-Preludes; SZABELSKI: Toccata; SHOSTAKOVICH: Prelude in E-flat Minor; PROKOFIEV: Three Scenes from Romeo and Juliet; TCHAIKOVSKY: Swan Lake Suite; GLIERE: Ilya Muromets Sym. – Pristine Audio (2 CDs)
These discs recapture the first appearances of Leopold Stokowski with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in 1958.
