Customer Reviews:

hmmmm.......2005-09-14

definitely not the best rendition of the popular suite.on the other hand,try finding another one.
stuff is edited,bludgeoned,rather.
tempos verge on comical.
rather disapointing,I really needed a nice version of the sugar plum faerie dance.
will probably stick to Wendy Carlos's,cheesy,runningly cheesy,blue cheese smelly,even,as it might be,still holds the original pace and campy pomp.

...not nuch of a cheese shop is it?
-it's fairly clean.
certainly not contaminated by Cleese!

Good Introduction but poor quality.......2005-09-12

This is a good introduction to Tchaikovsky for the beginner that gives a broad sampling of his work. Considering the price, it's a good value if someone is just wanting to begin exploring classical music or Tchaikovsky in particular.
However, the sound quality on this albumn is quite poor and there are much higher quality Tchaikovsky recordings available.

Tchaikovsky's Greatest Pieces of Music.......2000-09-04

Here are some of Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky's greatest works. His Nutcraker, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty ballets are the most famous in the repoirtaire. The Symphony No. 5 and 6 are very excellent symphonic orchestrations. However, despite all the good stuff in here from the Russian master, the performers and conductors cannot surpass the beauty and artistry that such Tchaikovsky music masters as Dorati, Markevitch and Ormandy are. So if you want quality Tchaikovsky, get those conductor renditions. However, for a Tchaikovsky beginner, these pieces will get you hooked. This is a good cd to begin with for a Tchaikovsky listener. I am a Tchaikovsky listener ever since a friend recommended his glorious works to me. I am a Mozart fan but Tchaikovsky is undoubtedly the greatest Romantic composer of all time. He combines Russian melodies (Russian dances, mazurkas, waltzes) and gives them a definite Western romantic feel. He was friends with such noted Romantic composers as Camille Saint Saens, known to create such marvelous music of the era- Carnival of the Animals (now popular through Dysney) and Danse Macabre, to name only a small portion. Tchaikovsky also adored Mozart and although he is not exactly a Classical composer, he greatly admires the beauty of Mozart's works. Three cheers for Tchaikovsky !

great music poorely performed........1999-09-18

T. is my favourite composer but the interpretation on this CD is rather like a good effort in high shool

Great!.......1999-04-18

I think that Peter Tchaikovsky is one of the greatest composers ever. His Nutcracker suite and Capriccio Italien are wonderful pieces of music, as well as the rest of his pieces! This CD is definetly worth owning if you like classical music.

Ahhh...my lovely Tchaikovsky CD...........2000-06-21

This, and a Grieg CD, is what got me started in classical music! Wonderful selections played lovely. Maybe I'm over rating this CD because it has helped me so much, but it is an excellent intro to Tchaikovsky's music. The Coronation March isn't as frequent as other songs but it is really great! My favorite March! Nice quality and playing. If you don't have this music already, buy it!

This cd is GREAT :).......2000-11-28

My parents really love music and they have passed this love down to me. Ever since I was a little kid, we have listened to tapes and cd's of classical and other music. This tape was one of the tapes I have grown up listening to. It is a wonderful cd with great music. The Make Believe Brass is a great brass ensemble and they make their music enjoyable to listen to. I recommend it for music lovers and people who simply enjoy music.

Lots of excerpts!.......2000-06-21

That's what you are going to get! It's an excellent CD if you want to get into classical music. Lots of the high hitters you hear too much of! But for someone who knows about classical music who just wanted this CD for the Tchaikovsky Coronation March, don't get it. Waste of [money] unless you have a reason to buy it. The music playing and recording is average. Nothing special but not bad.
