"The Very Best of Tchaikovsky", retail 2005.
This is the 2CD "very best of" compilation from the naxos series with the cartoonish abomination album covers. The original front cover album art is obviously not embedded, but replaced with decent custom 600x600.
Codec profile is Opus VBR at bitrate 96 (libopus 1.1) ,
genre marked as Classical - and tracks are as always tagged and pretty.
