Note:
The recording sounds as if it took place on the cusp of the advent of high quality recordings - very clear, but the dynamic range is not quite what it could be. And it's in mono. Still, a nice pair of recordings of exceprts of two of Tchaikovsky's best-loved works by a highy respected conductor.
