tchaikovsky adrian salute the dark
Балет Спящая красавица.I really did have to do a double-take when I saw the original recording date of 1974 for this classic set. Can it truly be more than 35 years since it was recorded? At the time the listing of Previn and the LSO on the front of any disc was pretty much the equivalent of a quality assurance mark. Add to that the dream production team of the Christophers – Parker and Bishop, some great recording venues – Abbey Road or the Kingsway Hall and it is not hard to see why these performances have maintained their positions in the catalogues for so many years. At the risk of going all dewy-eyed and nostalgic I have to say that their recorded legacy is as fine artistically and technically as any I can think of at this time. We now benefit from these performances at bargain price but I do have to question quite why EMI feel the necessity to repackage and re-release them again. I am also curious to know why in the repackaging they have chosen to omit the definite article.Список музыкальных треков:CD 1 Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty, Op.66 - IntroductionTchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty, Op.66 - Prologue - 1.
