Tchaikovsky: Suite from the ballet "Swan Lake" - Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra/Gennady Rozhdestvensky; Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a - Philharmonia Orchestra/Igor Markevitch

KHCD-2014-008FL (STEREO) - Tchaikovsky: Suite from the ballet "Swan Lake" - Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra/Gennady Rozhdestvensky; Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a - Philharmonia Orchestra/Igor Markevitch - Rozhdestvensky's reading of the suite from the "Swan Lake" ballet music is powerful and insightful, with characteristically forthright playing by the MRSO. The transcription is from a late pressing domestic Melodiya/Angel LP from the KH archives. Markevitch's take on the familiar "Nutcracker" score is typically detailed and no-nonsense in presentation. An early pressing light-blue label Angel LP was used for the restoration. Download includes CD art.
