Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5

Gramophone Editor's Choice - April 2009
When "the most-talked about musician in the world" (New York Times), and his "astonishing" (Los Angeles Times) orchestra performed this symphony at the 2008 Salzburg Festival, the Times of London wrote: "In Tchaikovsky's allegros... you imagined steam rising from the fiddler's flying fingers. The gorgeously played horn solo in the slow movement was as melancholic as anything in Dostoevsky... When these virtuostic Venezuelan youngsters play, the sense of the New World remaking, refreshing and rescuing the Old is overwhelming."
