Title: Competent, but...
Review: This is what I believe to be the second release of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2 on Super Audio CD. While competent, it still suffers from several issues.The soundstage presented in the recording seems too far back from the orchestra, and, as a result, the strings sound mushy in all but the quietest section. It's lush, yes, but in my opinion, too much so.I find Järvi's interpretation a bit peculiar, with some parts that are rushed past and others comparatively dragged through. In my opinion, the best interpretation of "Little Russian" belongs to Svetlanov's 1967 recording with the USSR State Orchestra, although the recording [or at least the mastering during its short stint on the Moscow Studio label] is on about the same level as this. If you can find it, I'd track down the re-release of Svetlanov's recording on the Pipeline Music label- even iTunes has it, and the interpretation and mix is superior to this by far.
