Tchaikovsky: Pathetique Symphony
Fritz Reiner and the CSO are in superb form on this session recorded by the famed production team of Layton and Mohr on April 1957. The symphony, otherwise known as the "Pathetique", is a tour-de-force of emotional contrast. Dark moods and high spirited passion prevail in this legendary performance of Tchaikovsky"s last masterpiece. The sound quality is spectacular, even by Mohr and Layton"s lofty standards.
