Suite 4 in G Op 61 / Seasons Op 37
Tchaikovsky's Fourth Suite has the subtitleMozartiana, as all of  its movements are based on music by Mozart, who was also Tchaikovsky's favorite  composer. It's a very sweet, sensitively written piece that proves yet again  that there's so much more to this composer than heart-on-sleeve emotional  hysteria. Neeme Järvi's performance sounds terrific, and the coupling, an  orchestral version of Tchaikovsky's charming piano suite,The Seasons, is  also very welcome.--David Hurwitz
