Tchaikovsky's early trio of symphonies have long lived in the shadow of the three that followed. Following his acclaimed Mariinsky disc of the final three symphonies, Valery Gergiev conducts outstanding performances of these early works with the London Symphony Orchestra. Tchaikovsky's early symphonies are full of rich expressive melodies something for which he had a natural talent. They contain influences of Russian nationalism and folk tunes, particularly in the second (Little Russian) and the first (Winter Dreams), which hints at a Russian landscape.

Since Valery Gergiev has already recorded Tchaikovsky's Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic on Philips, and released a Blu-ray and a DVD of those symphonies as performed with the Mariinsky Orchestra, there's no convenient match-up with this LSO Live twofer of the First, Second, and Third. That doesn't mean that fans of the conductor will be constrained by the difference of labels or formats, but anyone looking for a consistent package of all six symphonies in one place can certainly find many complete sets elsewhere. That said, Gergiev's Tchaikovsky is stunning in its immediacy, passion, and vitality, and the somewhat naïve early symphonies benefit greatly from his intensity and the abundant energy of the London Symphony Orchestra. The DSD are spectacular sounding, offering rich sonorities and spacious dimensions, while putting a strong emphasis on details and instrumental color. The most striking quality of these recordings is the realistic presence of the LSO, which seems to put the listener in the front row and gives a nearly palpable feeling of its place on the stage. While these recordings await a companion volume of the rest of the symphonies, it's still worth having in its own right.
