LABELS: RCA VICTOR Silver Seal
WORKS: Symphony No. 6 (‘Pathétique’); Romeo and Juliet
PERFORMER: Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy
CATALOGUE NO: VD 60908 ADD (1968, 1973)
The emotional fabric of this music draws a warm response from Ormandy and the Philadelphia to produce fine accounts of both the Sixth Symphony and Romeo and Juliet. The introduction to the Sixth is suitably full of expectation, and the third movement full of vitality. Both the playing and sound quallty are superb. Nicholas Rast
