Product Description
The symphonic poem “Francesca da Rimini” stands opposite one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular works on this SACD – the Symphony No. 5 in E minor. The poetic-dramatic work “Francesca da Rimini”, based on an episode from Dante’s “Inferno”, which unfolds a splendid and captivating tableau ranging from lyrical passages with a beguiling wealth of colour all the way to dramatic-theatrical outbursts. No question about it: Mariss Jansons has just the right pinch of “Russian soul” to bring out both these works in their full power: the recordings in October 2009 and July 2010 reveal the conductor in perfect unity with his orchestra, a combination capable of bringing ecstasy and control into perfect balance here.

Jansons Gives A Magnificent Tchaikovsky 5
Posted by Clive - Fish Fine Music on 13th Mar 2012
Mariss Jansons has been peforming Tchaikovsky for many years now - his 1980s recordings of the symphonies for Chandos remain benchmark - so this live recording of the mighty 5th Symphony is particularly welcome for the attention and experience brought to bear by one of the world's finest conductors. He certainly doesn't disappoint - this is one of the finest Tchaikovsky symphony recordings I can remember.
