2.0 out of 5 stars A missed opportunity, 3 Jan 2003
It surely is a thrilling idea to have Tchaikovsky's magnificent 2nd ballet "The Sleeping Beauty" performed full-length in concert. The score is one of the greatest pieces of music of the late 19th century and can easily stand on its own, without any dancers on a stage. Yet, this recording of a live concert at London's Royal Festival Hall in October 1979 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Gennadi Rozhdestvensky fails to convince.
Maestro Rozhdestvensky, former chief conductor of Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre and an expert on Tchaikovsky's ballet music if ever there was one, is nonetheless the first to blame for this. His no-nonsense conducting lacks charm and elegance, while the tension level drops all too frequently to sustain the attention. Moreover, instead of editing complete numbers Rozhdestvensky preferred to cut some bars here and there, which proves not only totally unnecessary but also a highly irritating practice.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra sounds only competent, with solos lacking individuality and not helped by the dull and dry recording, with unattractive brass and high violins.
A missed opportunity and in view of the available excellent recordings of “The Sleeping Beauty” a needless issue.
