The 4th symphony of Tchaikovsky which for years I have been
so eager to listen,I finally found it out in Shanghai!
Maybe imported CDs are too expensive for Chinese ordinal
people,the CDs(including 5th and 6th symphonies) I bought
had been on sale for a very long time.I was so lucky.

That performance itself is also so great! I have listened
no performance like that. Klemperer's performance is with
enough passion, but never sentimental.His interpretation is
not very emotional, but the symphonic effect his little-moving
tempo derives is so dramatic! His performance reminds me
that Thaikovsky's 4th is not a melodrama but a symphony.
In a word, his performance is completely PRECISE!

I still live in China and usually it is impossible for me to
write on 2ch from my computer at home. I write this message
from hotel where I am staying for these days.This is why I
write this in my poor English. Please do not blame me for
my English ability too strictly!
