Claus Peter Flor recorded this symphony for RCA, and rather well, but this remake is finer still. The Eighth benefits from as fresh and lively
This attractive three-disc set claims to present the “complete” overtures and tone poems, and it does nothing of the kind. What it does offer is

Music Chat: Yunchan's Limmings Are Back, Riding (Clumsily) to His Defense!!
Having despatched most (but not all) of the crazies in our last round of discussions about Korean piano virtuoso Yunchan Lim's previous release (Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto), his latest recording (of Tchaikovsky's The Seasons) elicits a gentler, avowedly more thoughtful kind of defense--but one just as stupid and irrelevant.
Review: Perlman's 100% Recommendable Complete DG (and Decca) Recordings
This 25-CD set contains consistently superb performances of a wide range of repertoire mostly unduplicated in Perlman's larger EMI box. Outstanding items include concertos by Berg, Stravinsky, Elgar, Mozart and Saint-Saëns, plus chamber music cycles by Beethoven and Mozart, among others, often featuring pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy. You simply can't go wrong.
Repertoire: The Haydn Symphony CRUSADE! (No. 81)
Symphony No. 81 in G major

Review: Yunchan Lim's Fussy, Inflated Tchaikovsky "The Seasons"
Tchaikovsky: The Seasons. Yunchan Lim (piano). Decca
Let me point out, in addition to what I mention in the video, that this disc only plays for 44 minutes. All of the competitive (and better) versions of The Seasons include additional music and offer better value for your money.
