Tchaikovsky Symphony No 5 1st mvt Beecham LPO
This a 1939 recording of the Symphony No 5 in E minor op.64 by Tchaikovsky performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham.
It is in four movements. This is the first marked Andante — Allegro con anima.
The reviewer in Gramophone for March 1940 wrote:\\\\\\In general, is it not true that the more obvious the drama (or melodrama, as it is with this composer) the less obvious should be any glosses, pullings out, pushings in, or other conductorial demonstrations of (usually) misplaced affection—for either the composer or himself? Hence Beecham\\\\\\s straightforward paces, his steadiness, solidity without much weight, and a general tone of simple sincerity. If that be judged the right tone for the work, how well are he and Tchaikovsky met !\\\\\\
