Svetlanov left four complete works of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, including video. This third complete work is a live recording of three nights of concerts in Tokyo in 1990, and is highly regarded as a masterpiece that Svetlanov has drawn. In addition, the ``Manfred Symphony'' (recorded when he came to Japan in 1992), which was not recorded at the time of the last complete collection in Moscow in 1993, was added, making it a highly valuable set as a complete collection. Unlike the statue of Tchaikovsky in the former West, which is widely performed like a Russian conductor, it is also wonderful that it has a deeper interpretation, and the Russian performance style that existed until this time is recorded as it is. It would be a good point. In addition, Svetlanov's early symphonies were featured in various places, and he often performed them overseas as the main part of his concerts. All of the remaining live sound sources are wonderful and have fulfilling content that far exceeds the evaluation of general songs. In particular, few conductors have taken up "Symphony No. 3" so much. The achievement of making the true value of the song known to many audiences is very great. And "Symphony No. 1" became the last sound source of the master's life. Two weeks before his death, the live sound source with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in April 2002 is irreplaceable. This performance, overflowing with affection that makes you want to stay in Tchaikovsky's world and never want the performance to end, moved the hearts of even non-fans. Even during this 1990 live performance, you can hear the excitement everywhere that you can not see in later session recordings throughout. And the "Manfred Symphony" is also a work that I am good at (I took it up in the Berlin Philharmonic's regular concert where I was the only co-star), and the concluding part ends with the theme of the first movement (Manfred rescued not), even though it is a so-called Svetlanov version, it is a persuasive performance in any phrase, making you feel a strong will. In addition, in this first SACD version, you can feel the fine nuances of the live performance more than ever, so I think that the atmosphere of this legendary concert will be conveyed even more. Once again, please enjoy the overwhelming performance that remains in the history of Tchaikovsky's performance with the highest sound quality ever.

The 1960s Manfred is seven minutes longer as it should be!

Evgueni Svetlanov enregistra trois fois Manfred : en 1967 avec l’orchestre symphonique d’État de l’URSS (Melodiya) et en 1992 avec l’orchestre symphonique d’État de Russie (Canyon Classics). Dans cette deuxième version, aux tempos caractéristiques, le chef prend un maximum de risques dans les passages enfiévrés ; le passage du final avec le choral d’orgue est absent. Il l'enregistra également en 1989 lors d'un concert avec l'Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Cet enregistrement est particulier dans la mesure où il fit plusieurs coupures dans le final (mesures 141 à 257, soit un tiers de l'exposition, la première section lente Andante, puis la fugue centrale), et réintroduisant la coda du premier mouvement (Andante con duolo), et supprimant le choral d'orgue et la coda écrits à l'origine.

This is called 1st version or Svetlanov version.
Svetlanov said he found draft at Tchaikovsky House-Museun in Klin but not for sure ...
