Karina Canellakis conducts Tchaikovsky

London Philharmonic Orchestra, Karina Canellakis

I think the Pathétique comes off marginally the better of the two symphonies...this is an enjoyable album, even if it doesn't displace the earlier Jurowski recordings.

About

Recorded live at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, it presents two of Tchaikovsky’s most profound symphonies: a revelatory account of the Fifth, with its shifting balance between fate and triumph, and a searingly personal reading of Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique). The Times praised the ‘explosive chemistry between this conductor and orchestra’ while The Arts Desk declared ‘the LPO has a real treasure in Canellakis.’ Together, they continue the Orchestra’s rich tradition of powerful Tchaikovsky performances, offering a recording that is both steeped in legacy and brimming with new life.
