About

This 7 CD box set features the first complete cycle of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies recorded by Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, including symphonies previously released on the LPO’s label and new recordings of Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3, Francesca da Rimini and Serenade for Strings.

This premium box set also includes detailed programme notes of all works recorded. The recordings were taken from live performances spanning Jurowski’s relationship with the Orchestra, from 2004–2016.

Jurowski and the LPO’s previously released recordings of Tchaikovsky’s works have garnered great critical acclaim: Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 (0064) were Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice, while his recording of Manfred was a BBC Music Magazine Disc of the Month and now sits in the Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music.

Awards and reviews

January 2018

Jurowski makes a great case for Winter Daydreams. There’s crispness to the LPO woodwind-playing and the finale has the infectious spirit of a Cossack dance. Fate looms large over the Fourth, a taut, gripping reading, while the Fifth has an emotional sweep that’s easy to get caught up in…The performances are terrific.

Classical Ear October 2018

The Symphony’s elegiac Andante is among Tchaikovsky’s most beautiful early creations. The first three movements of the ‘Little Russian’ are full of wit, vim and vigour, the recording catching to perfection the keen antiphonal interplay of divided violin desks, the playing precise and energetic.
