Customer Reviews of Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 6
4.5 stars! I would have to rate Karjan's set fractionally below his DG remakes from the 70's - which were his finest statements on these symphonies. Sound quality issues isn't the problem. The 1964 Pathetique is quite warm and lush, compared to the slightly earlier 5th (which musically doesn't quite match his later accounts). The 1967 4th symphony is just simply wonderful. The bass is a little dry as compared to his 1977 recording, but it is a little cleaner too. It is extremely intense and moving, nontheless. Certainly among the finest 4ths around. <
>Stay away from Karajan's early 70's Tchaikovsky 4,5,& 6 versions on EMI. Sound is just not quite right and the playing seems sub-par. One can tell that his heart is just not into those versions.
Karajan's 1960s Tchaikovsky Finally!
Since the dawn of the Compact Disk in the early 1980s I have awaited the reissue of Herbert von Karajan's recordings of the Tchaikovsky Symphonies 4,5, and 6 from the 1960s. Those recordings certainly eclipse all of Karajan's other recordings of these works. The sound has a warmth and reality to it, especially when put alongside the very dry recordings from the late 70s. The readings of the fourth and sixth are very similar to other Karajan renditions. but the fifth stands out in this rendition. It sounds more deeply felt, less obtuse than his other recordings.
Walk a mile, or more, to get this one! Accept no substitutes!
Now if only Universal would do the same for HVKs 1960s Brahms recordings too!
