MSTISLAV ROSPROVICH | LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA | TCHAIKOVSKY Symphonies Nos. 1-6 | Manfred | Romeo and Juliet | Francesca da Rimini (2025 UK/EU limited edition six-disc Hybrid SACD set brings together the complete symphonic cycle of Tchaikovsky, conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich, alongside three major orchestral works: Manfred Symphony, Romeo and Juliet (Fantasy Overture), and Francesca da Rimini. Long regarded as one of Rostropovich's most compelling orchestral statements, the performances were recorded in 1976-77 and form the core of a cycle praised for its authority, emotional breadth, and distinctly Russian character. The set has been newly remastered for the first time in high definition from the original master tapes, transferred at 192kHz/24-bit by Studio Circ. Presented as Hybrid SACDs, the discs offer both SACD and standard CD compatibility, with the high-resolution layer delivering increased clarity, dynamic range, and orchestral detail compared to previous editions. Produced by David Mottley and engineered by Neville Boyling and Michael Gray, these recordings benefit from the extended headroom of the SACD format, revealing greater depth in the strings, weight in the brass, and improved spatial definition across the orchestra. Issued by Warner Classics, this box set provides a comprehensive and technically upgraded presentation of a landmark Tchaikovsky cycle. Recommended)
