The Tchaikovsky is without faults as on the Brahms 4/Reiner... The Bizet is altogether excellent with some sparkling playing. Not bothering with the other Orchestral's in the Treasury set - CRQ Editions will do £9 specials of this/the lot - but 5 are already here (+Danon/Kempe/Krips/Reiner)...go there!
