Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Ernest Ansermet
?His symphonies are ballets, his ballets are
symphonies?; such has often been said about
Tchaikovsky?s lengthy dance compositions. This
opinion is not entirely due to the fact that these
works had to please the audience without being
danced to after Diaghilev?s legendary ballet
company was dissolved. Rather more, Tchaikovsky?s
instrumental and incidental music is pervaded by
movement and dance rhythms that act as a musical
scaffolding.
Almost as legendary as the incomparable heritage
of Russian music is the reputation of the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, whose recordings
are famed for their lush and saturated sound
colouring. Ansermet transforms the score into a
veritable firework of sound, without ever
straining after cheap effects by means of a
thunderous sound; the strings are clean and warm
in all registers, the brass volleys blare out
keenly, and the percussion is dauntlessly
resolute. This performance and Decca?s customary
excellent sound recording render great homage to
this music. All the more reason to be glad that
this particular 'Sleeping Beauty' has been
awakened at long last.
