Tchaikovsky - 1812 / Romeo & Juliet / Nutcracker - Chicago SO / Solti (CD)

Three of Tchaikovsky's most thrilling orchestral showpieces in one disc — performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of the legendary Sir Georg Solti.

This 1987 Decca recording brings together the explosive 1812 Overture, the passionate Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, and highlights from The Nutcracker in performances of real authority and brilliance. Solti and the Chicago Symphony were one of the great conductor-orchestra partnerships of the late 20th century, and their Tchaikovsky is vivid, dramatic, and superbly recorded. A first-rate introduction to orchestral Tchaikovsky and a fine addition to any classical collection.
