Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto & Sérénade mélancolique
Itzhak Perlman, Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy- Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35: I. Allegro moderato
- Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35: II. Canzonetta (Andante)
- Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35: III. Finale (Allegro vivacissimo)
- Sérénade mélancholique, Op. 26
