Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Antal Dorati was the Tchaikovsky ballet pioneer. For Mercury Living Presence, he made the first-ever recordings of the complete versions of the Russian composer's three great ballets. But Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty were mono recordings; he did two versions of The Nutcracker, one mono and one stereo. So this stereo remake of Tchaikovsky's greatest ballet was highly anticipated, particularly as it features the incomparable Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. True to form, the performance is magnificently played and warmly recorded. Originally issued on three LPs (and CDs), it's now available on two well-filled discs for the price of one. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, great record, 6 May 2004
By Eng PAULO JORGE M NUNES "Paulo Mateus Nunes" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was my first classical record bought based on a review from Classical Music Rough Guides book. I like Tchaikovsky and so I wanted to try the overall record quality.

Put the first disk, sit down and be delighted with the performance and sound quality. Every detail, sound, instrument are great.

I have several Classical Music records from various labels and composers (not nice price series) and this is by far the best in terms of quality.

OK, you must like Tchaikovsky...

A must have if you like or aren't familier with Tchaikovsky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb - though not quite complete., 22 Feb 2009
By MR P FITTON (Oldham, Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

First of all I would agree with most of the previous reviewers comments, especially those regarding the sound quality of this double disc set. If you're a digital snob don't be put off by the ADD because the quality is really quite magnificent. These are late analogue recordings from 1979/80/81 and the sound is full, warm and really quite gorgeous. One of, if not the best, CDs I own in terms of quality and easily equal to any recent digital recording (for example, it's significantly better than the Tilson Thomas/LSO complete Swan Lake digital recording from 1990, not that there's a great deal wrong with that either).

One caveat: this is not quite the complete Sleeing Beauty, despite being listed as such in the booklet (though not, to be fair, on the front or back cover). Philips have made it "available on two well-filled discs", as the Amazon reviewer says, by the fairly simple expedient of omitting one of the pieces - the 6 minute Entr'acte from act 2. Check out the listing for CD 2 above and you'll see that piece no 18 is missing. Admittedly it's not a huge omission, and you can download the Previn/LSO version of it from this site for 69p if you're desperate to hear it.

As far as the music goes, well it's fantastic. Not quite as immediately beguiling or appealing as Swan Lake or Nutcracker, but still full of marvellously inventive and inspired music that gets better and more enjoyable with every listen.
