hmm one day perhaps. But the next step will be Kharmas or maybe Marten speakers. Wont be anytime soon though!

please believe me... you need look no further:

Yes, I certainly second that set.

Very good I must look out for that set.

Also of note are....

Symphonies 1-3 by Dorati on Mercury and....
Symphonies 4-6 by Mravinsky on DG....

....both are excellent sets.

Dorati & Mravinsky....yes now yer talking!

The Jansons is very good as well though!

I own both this one, and a very serviceable set by Rostropovich and the London Phil, available at a real budget price... in addition to a number of single releases... as far as Tchaikovsky's Symphonies are concerned, I personally feel this is enough...

The Dorati and Mravinsky will make you re-assess Tchaikovsky....

Dave is from the North side of Dublin, Jared.....his comments are pure propagana, however!!!

Anyway....back to the music....

JSB – Two Cantatas for Sexagesima, BWV 18 & 181....



Sexagesima is the 2nd Sunday before Lent but, apparently, is no longer officially marked by the Church.
