Customer Reviews:

It has a nice Sleeping Beauty Suite.......2001-03-25

If your looking for a Tchaikovsky Ballet Suites version that's conducted and interpreted by Tchaikovsky's countrymen, this is it. This was my first Tchaikovsky Ballet suites CD and I really enjoyed it a lot. It also features other Tchaikovsky works, specifically Capriccio Italien and the Eugene Onegin: Waltz & Polonaise. I'll recommend this cd for Tchaikovsky fans who like to own different versions of his works.The Sleeping Beauty Suite in this CD is a delight and the Pas D'Action, Panorama, and Waltz is more romantic than my Karajan and Dorati versions. My only complaint is the recording is not as loud as my Karajan and Dorati versions. If you only want one copy of Tchaikovsky's Ballet suites, go for the Karajan version. If you prefer the complete versions, the Dorati CDs are the right ones to grab.
