Tchaikovsky Ballet Music Highlights: Swan Lake • The Sleeping Beauty • The Nutcracker

Pyotr Illitch Tchaïkovski

Ballets - Released November 26, 2007 | Avie Records

Booklet
Like much of Tchaikovsky's musical output, his ballet scores were often subject to criticism. This is certainly true of his first attempt at ballet, Swan Lake. Although still firmly rooted in the traditions of the day, Tchaikovsky certainly tried to move out on his own by making the score much more orchestra-based than most of his predecessors. This, of course, drew the ire of dancers and theater directors alike as the attention was taken away from the dancers and placed on the musicians. History shines more favorably on Tchaikovsky's independent streak, making him the first Russian composer whose ballet scores are played as stand-alone orchestral works, not to mention the fact that Tchaikovsky was unknowingly paving the way for a string of subsequent Russian ballet composers like Stravinsky and Prokofiev. Excerpts from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and the perennial holiday favorite the Nutcracker are featured on this album by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Russian conductor Vasily Petrenko, who, at the rather young age of 29, became the orchestra's principal conductor in 2006, leads the orchestra in an extremely energetic and lively reading of these works. Most of the numbers are performed much more quickly than would ever be heard with a dance company, but the sprightly tempos make for especially exciting listening. Petrenko combines the orchestra's brilliant sound and exceptional technical precision with his own knowledge of the Russian master to create this enjoyable, appealing album.© TiVo

Tchaikovsky: Ballet Suites for Piano Duo

Mari Kodama

Solo Piano - Released November 1, 2016 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Some of Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's most beloved music can be found in his three great ballets, which have become familiar to audiences in complete performances, as well as variously configured suites and arrangements. This hybrid SACD by pianists Mari Kodama and Momo Kodama offers transcriptions for piano duo by Sergey Rachmaninov, Anton Arensky, Eduard Leontyevich Langer, and Claude Debussy, which capture the brilliance and beauty of the original versions. One is struck by the faithfulness of the arrangers, who eschewed pyrotechnics in favor of accurately re-creating Tchaikovsky's music, and the keyboard versions often bring the orchestral sonorities and textures to mind. The selections also recommend themselves because of their tunefulness and accessibility, and it's likely that listeners will instantly recognize most of the pieces. For sampling, try the famous Adagio from Sleeping Beauty, the sparkling Overture from Nutcracker, or the Dance of the Cygnets from Swan Lake. The playing by the Kodama sisters is meticulous and finely polished, but their liveliness and virtuosity bring the music across with considerable excitement and a feeling of pure enjoyment.© TiVo

Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet, TH 42 & The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, TH 35

Lorin Maazel

Classical - Released January 1, 1981 | Telarc

Way, way back in the earliest days of digital recordings, one of America's first all-classical digital labels was Telarc, a company located in the great state of Ohio. Understandably, they specialized in recording Ohio orchestras, specifically the Cleveland Orchestra under its then-current music director Lorin Maazel. And, also understandably, they choose to record standard repertoire, in the case of this disc from 1981, a combination of Tchaikovsky's extremely popular Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and his Nutcracker Suites. Maazel, who may be one of the most representatively American conductors of his generation, turns in straight-ahead interpretations -- his Overture draws an unbroken line from the opening woodwind chords through the rambunctious first theme, the romantic second theme and the violent development to the blazing coda, while his suite accentuates the work's brilliant colors and vivacious rhythms -- and the Cleveland Orchestra, which was then surely one of the great American symphonies, turns straightforward performances -- the strings are powerful, the winds are colorful, the brass is forceful, and the tympanist has the strength of 10 men because his attacks are clean. Telarc's sound is typical of its early digital recordings: very big, very bright, very vivid, perhaps just a bit too dynamic but still undeniably effective. Anyone looking for a coupling of the Overture and the Suite by an American conductor and orchestra will probably be well satisfied by this disc.© TiVo
