Tchaikovsky 4

I thought it was about time to return to the mainstream of the symphonic repertoire and listened to one of my longtime favourites, Tchaikovsky's fourth. I realise there is much show in this work and it is a little over the top with its "fate" motive and dramatic finale. Still it's fun and some great musicianship there. I used to prefer it to the sixth symphony, but now I think the sixth is better.
