Brahms 1st symphony, Tchaikovsky 1st symphony

And another one: the excellent Andrew Litton with Bournemouth SO.

We must have been through the entire catalogue on Winter Daydreams.

I can only think of Pletnev, Masur and Haitink as versions not mentioned.

During the Tchaikovsky Experience we had recorded performances of both the original and revised versions of 'Winter Daydreams'. Which recording of each would members recommend?

Must confess I had forgotten about the two versions Nethersage!

Actually the question was a bit of a sly one. As far as I know, the only recording 0f the original version is that broadcast during the Tchaikovsky Experience, and that was specially done by the BBC's top orchestra under the baton of Ilan Volkov. It has not, I think, been rebroadcast. One for TtN perhaps. I have the DAB mp2 saved, but an HD Sound iPlayer option would be very welcome.

I've got the recording somewhere I must give it a listen. The other version played in the TE was PragueSO/Smetacek on Supraphon which was my first recording of this albeit on a mono LP.

Didn't think he'd ever worked with the concert band.

Actually I might have it .... somewhere.

Which year was the Tchaikovsky experience???

I have always been very fond of Jansons' cycle:




The whole set for under £20, it's a winner!

Too right MickyD!

I've had this set for a long time now. Like the cover!

My set is earlier with a different outer cover.

A lighter colour? With two box sets in the slip case?

That's the one - I've put all the discs in one double box to save shelf space.

I have sent a missive to LPO Records but I don't think it will make a lot of difference.

I received a reply from LPO to say the Jurowski Sym 2/3 will be released later this year but no plans for the Serenade for Strings and Francesca which are available on download!
