This is the penultimate release in the Tchaikovsky Symphonies cycle by the best Russian Orchestra conducted by its Music Director Mikhail Pletnev. The whole series has been critically acclaimed across the globe and this one will be eagerly awaited by collectors of the series. www.codaex.com NOVEMBER 2012 | CODAEX UK | RELEASE DATE 12.11.2012 TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.3, Coronation March Russian National Orchestra, Cond. Pletnev CAT.NO.: PTC 5186383 FORMAT: 1SACD PPD: £ 9.25 LABEL: PentaTone BARCODE: 827949038365 GENRE: Symphony Acclaim for Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 1 The performance is Pletnev’s best in his PentaTone Tchaikovsky cycle thus far.... The Slavonic March [is] among the best, most exciting interpretations of the work you’re likely to hear... “ Classical Candor (February 2012) Acclaim for Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 2 “... a crackerjack Second.... Pletnev knows how to build to the big chorale, scurry long with the many string whirlwinds ever-present in the piece, and give us brassy blow-you-away entrances. [There] is no quarter to slackness or mellowness; he treats this work as the blockbuster it is, and in the end we come away very satisfied.” Audiophile Audition (July 2012) Acclaim for Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 “Pletnev brings a winning simplicity to the opening melody of the Andantino second movement, and the gear change to the faster middle section is negotiated with skill and eloquence.... the playing is brilliant.” BBC Music Magazine (June 2011) Acclaim for Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 “There is so much to admire here... Details are invariably surprising... Rubatos, too, are elegantly turned, the phrasing eminently pianistic in that it is so quick of reflex. Of course, it takes an orchestra of extraordinary dexterity to pull off these subtly shifting nuances – and the Russian National Orchestra is extraordinarily responsive. Their playing is chamberlike in inflection, just writ larger. Is there a more graceful or deftly articulate account of the third-movement Valse on disc than this?” Gramophone (November 2011) A SHEET
