Masterpieces: Polonaise and Waltz "Eugene Onegin" / Valse mélancolique / Andante Cantabile / Marche Slave / Barcarolle / Minuet

~ Release by Tchaikovsky (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

I find this release quite puzzling. (a) Track six appears to be a Schubert song, so what is it doing on release of Tchaikovsky masterpieces? (b) The Amazon details give Vonk/Dresden for two of the Eugene Onegin selections, but only the singer for the other. A previous editor has credited the song to Stefanov / Bulgarian Symphony, but that would be odd indeed to have this sandwiched between the other two.
