Title: The Best Version Available
Review: If you're buying it for the Tchaikovsky, you won't be disappointed, but if you're expecting perfect audio reproduction, you might be. The Little Russian was recorded by the USSR state orchestra in 1967 before the days of digital and sometimes the very loudest passages overloaded the Cold War Russian equipment. It's not all that offensive, but it's noticeable. Additionally, and this is inexplicable to me, the entire CD is half a tone sharp. Again, noticeable, but not offensive, unless you're trying to play along with the music on the piano like I was.Anyway the version is so good I still gave it 5 stars.
Is the review positive or negative?
