"... very good and refreshing. Honest and engaging analogue sound is a strength ..."
- MusicWeb International
"These passionate, detailed, superbly played performances still sound great. Markevitch conducts the underestimated first three symphonies with panache and conviction, conjuring thrilling and moving versions of the others."
- ClassicalSource.com
"... Markevitch’s approach is wonderfully intelligent and sympathetic even where it is most original ... the playing of the London Symphony is remarkably disciplined for this period (early to mid 60s), another testament to Markevitch’s commanding podium presence ... clearly a reference recording for the Tchaikovsky symphonies ... quite an achievement and an essential component of any serious Tchaikovsky collection."
- ClassicsToday.com
