Free Music Notes for Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake
Free Music Review: The first ... and still the best -- truly a classic
Hit: 5 Stars
With almost 60 years of recordings in the modern era behind us, it's truly rare to find a "first" recording that remains the best. But that's precisely the case in this instance. Antal Dorati recorded this first-ever fully complete recording of this ballet back in 1955. Today, more than 50 years later, NO ONE has matched his achievement. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra "sounds" like a real pit orchestra (not the flabby symphonic "wash" of so many other recordings), with exciting rhythmic effects, while the violin solo work of concertmaster Rafael Druian (later to be concertmaster in Cleveland and New York), is absolutely spectacular. This is visceral and vital Tchaikovsky ballet interpretation at its finest. Once you hear this version, you'll never be satisfied with any other -- be it Ansermet, Dutoit, or any of the Russians even. Since this recording was made at the tail end of the mono-only era, I'd suggest you buy this CD now, before it goes out of print once again -- possibly forever this time.
