Tchaikovsky: Symphony 1, and Francesca da Rimini. Tonhalle-Orchester
Zürich, Paavo Järvi. On the label Alpha.
This is a very fine performance of the symphony. The Francesca is not as
wild as (e.g.) Stokovsky's, specially not at the beginning, but
disappointing this is not.
Really good is the sound. It seems that the recording has been made in a
temporary concert hall (Tonhalle-Maag) that has been constructed
specially "for the occasion" in an old factory. Beautiful details in the
woodwinds.
