Overview
Eugene Ormandy leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in this Essential Classics compilation of Tchaikovsky’s masterworks. Disciplined each to its distinct emotional world—the brooding drama of Symphony No. 4 in F minor, the triumphant fireworks of the “1812” Overture (with Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Valley Forge Military Academy Band), and the Slavonic bravura of the Marche Slave—this 73‑minute reissue showcases Ormandy’s legendary rapport with the orchestra, now digitally remastered for renewed clarity.
