ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.
I just saw a local symphony perform this symphony, and it was awesome! Great music. Thanks for posting this.

Absolutely amazing. I never cease to be impressed by the color and beauty of Korsakov's ability for melody and orchestration. I know as soon as the violin section comes in that this is the work of a master.
