Title: What about sound...?
Product review: Sorry for Olga Kern, but this is sure the worst recorded SACD in my collection of classical SACD's (about 30, half of them by Tchaikovsky). The sound is very disappointed and take no comparsion with various CD's (incl. low budget labels), recorded 30 - 40 years ago. The well-known beginning of first movement fade sadly into the space, it goes not under the skin. Tchaikovsky without full sounding emotions, what's that..? No, thanks. There are many other better recordings, even in CD format ... Garry Graffman (Szell), Svjatoslav Richter (Karajan), Rafael Orozco (De Waart) f.e.
