Tchaikovsky - Suite No.4 'Mozartiana' and The Seasons - Detroit Symphony Orchestra

"...Jarvi responds to the varying moods and images of these little miniatures with sympathy and gusto, and his ability to bring out the very heart and soul of even the most sentimental passages makes it a joy from start to finish...but even Jarvi's high spirits here pale beside the glorious sound of the Detroit horns in September with its colorful evocation of the hunt...certainly the best 'Seasons' in the catalog." -Haller,
