Not much of a fan of Tchaikowsky except I always enjoyed playing R&J.
Haven't heard the Mravinsky who I always get confused with Markevitch, hey, I'm almost 70, but I do like the Markevitch Little Russian (2) and the 4th that were done on Festivo Philips with the LSO. His conducting is crisp, to the point and the music is far less over-embellished than the later symphonies.
Have several 6ths including Toscanini and I guess Ormandy/Phil. is my fav (MS-7169) The cover of this re-issue Masterworks has a Martin Bookspan blurb, "This is the recording of the Pathetique I would recommend...blah,blah..." I'd agree.
