About

This disc is the final instalment in BIS’s Tchaikovsky symphony cycle with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi, a cycle which as a whole can be described as resolutely unsentimental, aiming to rid the score of the melodramatic excess that has become part of the performance tradition. The disc features the Third Symphony, nick-named ‘The Polish’ thanks to the marking of the final movement –Tempo di Polacca.

This disc also includes a number of shorter works, among which are the dances from Eugene Onegin and extracts from two lesser-known works, The Voyevoda and Dmitri the Pretender and Vassily Shuisky. Equally unusual is the brief Serenade, written in 1872 in honour of Nikolai Rubinstein.

Previous discs in the series have been met with great acclaim – Symphony No.2, ‘Little Russian’, was hailed in Gramophone as “an outstanding performance … beautifully played and paced and immaculately recorded.
