[Brian]

Of course I had to try the Turkish Symphony. The janissary percussion appears in the finale. The first movement's introduction is conducted very stiffly and badly, but the rest of the symphony is played fine. The finale is fun but the rest is a step below Haydn or Krommer.

Imho, the best discs in the series are the two dedicated to his ballets. Colorful, tuneful and engaging music.

I love them all and it's difficult for me to choose a favorite. Each has its own charm and all contains some of the most beautiful and well-crafted music Tchaikovsky (or indeed any composer) ever wrote. They are overshadowed by the symphonies and Manfred and it's a pity.

Do you have any favorite performance of them? I have only Dorati/NPO and Marriner/AOSMF, which are goldies but oldies. Something more modern you (or anyone else) would recommend me? TIA.

Actually no, I don't. I only have the Doráti set and I'm so content with it that I haven't had the need to explore other recordings yet.

Gouvy: Piano Quintet in A major

Always a delight to revisit this peach of a quintet. Lovely to the bone.

[Leo K.]

The slow movements are the real gems of these two Hailstork symphonies.

A very fine disk. Reminds me to listen to this again.

There only seem to be thre other complete sets of the Suites to go by Amazon. One seems to be a download-only offering conducted by a combination of Svetlanov, Kondrashin, and Fedoseyov so presumably originited in Melodiya's Soviet days.

How do you find these fall upon your ears?

[JBS]

How do you find these fall upon your ears?

So far so good. (So far being the finale of the First Symphony.)
Bear in mind I don't think I've ever heard these symphonies before.

They would definitely be new to me, and I suspected they would be new to yourself.

[VonStupp]

A great work! I love the optimism and "freshness" it exudes, especially in the wonderful first movement. I appreciate that Järvi's recording includes the Reverenza movement which Stenhammar later discarded.

Yes, the Serenade is certainly different than his other orchestral works. I like the outer movements best overall, I think. I recently heard the Reverenza separately, and it works pretty well that way too.

[Roasted Swan]

Allow me to recommend his recordings of suites from operas by Rimsky-Korsakov!

Literally the recording that started it all .... Jarvi's first sessions for Chandos and first with the SNO (quite excellent too).
