Title: Powerfully affecting performances!
Product review: Among 20 or so CDs of Tchaikovsky's overtures & fantaies I own, this is definitely one of my favourite. Colin Davis gives very expansive yet intensely charged reading of the choral version of 1812 overture with Boston SO and Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Recorded in very wide dynamic range, the finale with canon and bells is overwhelmmingly powerful. R&J Overture is equally powerful and deeply moving, with beautiful singing tone in string part and glorious brass. Eugen Onegin Polonaise is superbly played by Orchestra of Covent Garden. My only complaint is, playing time is too short! They should have included Francesca da Rimini or Tempest.
