Tchaikovsky: 3 Ballet Suites

[Machine Translation] A special selection of RECOGEI. Svetlanov's three major ballets are as well-dressed as symphonies, and are full of richness. All of them are excerpts, but Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty are standard pieces, while The Nutcracker includes three relatively rare pieces and a moving pas de deux as an encore. (The pas de deux seems to draw you into the whirlpool of the orchestra's sound. Includes Japanese obi and commentary. Performed by: Evgeny Svetlanov (conductor), NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Boys and Girls Choir / Recorded: October 6 and 7, 2000 at NHK Hall (live)

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

レコ芸特選。スヴェトラーノフが振る3大バレエは交響曲と見まごう恰幅の良さで、充実度満点。いずれも抜粋ですが、「白鳥の湖」と「眠れる森の美女」は定番を押えていますが、「くるみ割り人形」は比較的珍しい3曲に、アンコールとして感動的な「パ・ド・ドゥ」がとりあげられています。「パ・ド・ドゥ」はオーケストラの音の渦に引き込まれるかのようです。日本語帯・解説付。演奏: エフゲニー・スヴェトラーノフ(指揮)NHK交響楽団、東京少年少女合唱隊 / 録音: 2000年10月6、7日/NHKホール(ライヴ)
