Title: Please listen to this Tchaikovsky
Review: Okay, it was recorded in 1943 so of course the sound is a bit compromised. But your ear will adjust. Just listen to the pianism in the Tchaikovsky! Some of the tempi are on the fast side as was customary for Toscanini, but Horowitz is completely dazzling here. The Beethoven is also very good, with better sound(it was recorded much later) and with an alert and sympathetic Fritz Reiner conducting. Engaging, powerful, and yet very tender in the central slow movement. All in all a great pairing.
