Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 Pathetique / Capriccio Italien / Waltz and Polonaise from Eugene Onegin (Essential Classics)
A standout version of thePathetique, one that millions of music  lovers grew up on. This classic performance, featuring the incomparable  Philadelphia strings, has been lovingly transferred to CD in excellent  remastered sound, and is available at a budget price. There's really nothing  more to be said. Eugene Ormandy was one of the 20th century's most passionate  advocates of the composer, and his orchestra was without peer in this music at  the time this recording was made.
