Скачать или смотреть The International Philharmonic Orchestra: An Hour Of Tchaikovsky (Tops Records)

An Hour Of Tchaikovsky. Well, folks, this is not a Royale release; it is a Tops release, the one featured here today was issued in 1957. Tops was a very successful label in the mid-'50s; maybe their high production standards, inner sleeves, and high-quality engineering and pressing standards, all while selling albums for bargain prices, may have contributed to their popularity. Tops Records issued their share of classical music releases, including this one feature here, which is an album of a couple of Tchaikovsky's better-known pieces.

This album was supposed to be a quick transfer and upload video; however, this album was in such great shape, and the content was great, so I restored it so I could listen to the album at its best. This kind of remastering won't be in every future upload because of time constraints.

The tracks play in the following order, and each respective track starts at the time noted:

Side 1
Caprice Italien Part 1 (0:04)
Caprice Italien Part 2 (9:46)
"Sleeping Beauty Sequence"
Introduction and Lilac Fairy (15:33)
Silver Fairy (18:19)
The Rose Adagio (19:16)

Side 2
Concerto #1 in B Flat Minor (Tonight We Love) Part 1 (22:46)
Concerto #1 in B Flat Minor (Tonight We Love) Part 2 (36:15)

I hope you will watch this video for longer than 30 seconds, for classical is slower developing in its themes, so listen for a couple minutes before you click away.
