Incredible!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reiner Conducts Tchaikovsky (Audio CD)
For a 1955 recording, the sound is unheard of, and it's probably as good as most made today. The performances are just as impressive. Everybody has heard the 1812 Overture, but if you haven't heard this one, you've got to. I was amazed when the finale finished. I don't think I've ever heard a brass section in an orchestra play like that! It's so loud, and so flawless. Unbelievable.

Still the best Pathetique,
By Conrad H. Weisert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reiner Conducts Tchaikovsky (Audio CD)
After a half century the Reiner/CSO recording of the Sixth Symphony remains unsurpassed both musically and sonically: opulent string sound, stunning precision, incredibly transparent detail, masterly control.

1812 Overture with cuts and without cannons!,
By Matthew Silverstein - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reiner Conducts Tchaikovsky (Audio CD)
A couple of warnings for those of you who might be considering buying this CD for Reiner's recording of the 1812 Overture. First, there is a massive cut in the middle of the overture. Reiner cuts the three-minute "development" right out from the middle of the piece. So, if you're looking for the complete overture, look elsewhere. Second, there are no cannons. Reiner doesn't even use the (very prominent and well-recorded) bass drum as a substitute. There is nothing, which is disappointing (especially since, in other respects, the performance is terrific).
