It's a bit of a mystery that none of the major record companies has yet signed such an exceptional talent as Vladimir Jurowski to an exclusive contract. But that's very good news for the London Philharmonic's own label, which is eagerly issuing its principal conductor's performances.

Though Jurowski's Tchaikovsky performances would be happily encountered in concert, the closer inspection that's inevitable on disc reveals a basic solidity but only isolated moments in the sixth symphony that have a distinctive profile. In the famous second subject of the Sixth’s first movement, Jurowski doesn’t milk the tune to the point that it loses all connection to what has come before; rather, it breathes impulsively, passionately, and with remarkable lyrical force. Then the development crashes in with as much violence and power as in any performance yet recorded. Its tragic climax in the recapitulation is absolutely shattering.
