Rich is this the one?
Yes, I think that is the one. That says released in 1991, mine says recorded 1990. Mine is a 6 CD set of all Tchaikovsky's symphonic works, minus the ballets. My box artwork is different, but I think this what it looks like now. A great set with Romeo&J, Symph 4, and Voyevoda all blowing the roof off.
A review of 1812 from Amazon.com:
"The Chicago Symphony has always had a great brass section, but this is the proof. Who cares if it's not musical? When the trombone section completely obliterates the rest of the orchestra during the 1812it is just glorious! And in Marche Slave when the low brass gets theCzarist National Anthem, CharlieVernon takes the Bass Trombonepart down the octave and blasts overthe tuba deep in the pedal range! Like I said, it may not be completelymusical, but it's a testament to what can be done."
