Schubert’s 4th Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic from Salzburg Festival on the Evening Concert

Mozart piano-four-hands and Mendelssohn piano trio and other chamber music on the Evening Concert
Three works for piano-four-hands played by six pianists!
All-Tchaikovsky from the New York Philharmonic: Swan Lake, 1812 Overture, et.al.
Somehow, as a youth I thought that the 1812 Overture was written and first performed in the year 1812! It's a great and fun work still 200-plus years later... and 150-plus years since Tchaikovsky wrote it.
Berlioz’ “Symphonie fantastique” from the San Francisco Symphony on the “Evening Concert”
It's semi-autobiographical. It's has the emotional content of the proverbial "tortured artist". And, it's "fantastic", and it's a Symphony.
