Tchaikovsky's Winter Dreams, Symphony No. 1: Michael Tilson Thomas Reissued as Part of the Original Source Series on 180g LP. Pure Analogue Mix & Cut from the Original Eight-Track Tapes at Emil Berliner Studios. Pressed at Optimal.

"Michael Tilson Thomas' recording of Tchaikovsky's First Symphony has long been considered the best because of its 'ballet-like' treatment of the score. And indeed there is an element of danceability in his tempi, as well as an irresistibly natural flow in his handling of transitions. Thomas makes the dreamy second movement sound like a soulful lullaby, to which the Boston Symphony's richly textured string playing contributes in no small part." - Classics Today
