TCHAIKOVSKY: 1812 Overture, Marche Slave, Romeo and Juliet, Capriccio Italien - Zubin Mehta, Los Angeles Philharmonic

Thrilling performances of four of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral works issued together in these recordings for the first time on CD. Both the ‘1812 Overture’ and the ‘Capriccio Italien’ were demonstration discs in their time and it’s not hard to see why in these larger-than-life performances conducted with enormous panache by Zubin Mehta.
