Lennie's DG Tchaik 6 comes from his "anything you can do, I can do (much) slower" phase. Neither that nor the Pletnev are fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Mravinsky. There are 3 6ths by him, the 1956 mono and 1961 stereo on DG and a later, live one on Erato. While there are very fine recordings by others, he'd be my desert island choice.
