Buy new: $10.98 / Used from: $5.81
This is a tough one, but it has got the Concert Fantasia and a more-than-decent 2nd piano concerto (although I still prefer Donohoe/Barhai on EMI). For this price, you can't go wrong.
Tchaikovsky: Manfred SymphonyTchaikovsky: Manfred Symphony

Possibly the best of Jansons' cycle, and in any case one of the best recordings of this work in the catalogue.
Tchaikovsky: Orchestral WorksTchaikovsky: Orchestral Works
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $7.76
Some good, others less brilliant, but a competent collection of shorter orchestral pieces.
Tchaikovsky: Symphony Nos.1, 2 & 3Tchaikovsky: Symphony Nos.1, 2 & 3
Buy used from: $27.48
A perfect companion to Mravinsky's 4-6th on DG (see no. 1). Add the Jansons Manfred and you're set.
