Evgeny Svetlanov - Tchaikovsky: Complete Symphonies Live in Tokyo (2012) [6CD Box Set]

Melodiya's famous audio reproduction gives the symphonies clean sound in vibrant acoustics, and the orchestra has true depth and presence, with spectacular tone colors in a wide dynamic range. Svetlanov's readings are flexible and fluid, with a modest amount of rubato and some careful adjustments of the orchestral balance to heighten the counterpoint, which is sometimes obscured in overly homogenized western recordings. Audiophiles and connoisseurs might have preferences for more modern, state-of-the-art recordings, but most listeners will find the sound perfectly satisfactory and the performances quite compelling.
