Music reviews of Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (Complete Ballet)/ Sleeping Beauty Suite
Music Review: BSO delivers a stellar performance of an old favorite.
Rating: 5 Stars
The Suite from The Nutcracker has become so familiar and frankly overused today, especially at Christmastime, that it is rare to hear a recording that doesn't either plod through the work with boredom from too many playings or try to compensate with false enthusiasm. This, however, is a recording that restores the true beauty to all of the most familiar numbers in The Nutcracker and gives new life into the less well-known (though equally beautiful) ones as well. The traditionally known dances "Trépak" and "Valse des Fleurs" sparkle with all the shimmer that they deserve. The lesser-known portions of the ballet, such as the Danse Groß-Vater are equally well executed. Particularly noteworthy is the exquisite harp work, especially the cadenza to the Valse and throughout the Pas de Deux. The sonority of the Boston Symphony is exploited to its full potential in the larger scenes, especially the climaxes in the Pas de Deux and the battle between the Nutcracker-Prince and the Rat King. The final Valse et Apothéose is masterfully executed.The Suite from La Belle au Bois Dormant is executed with all the flair found in the Nutcracker. The entire work is extremely attentive to detail, which is not to say that it lacks the quirky nature very much present in Le chat botté et la chatte blanche music. The ever-popular final Valse is appropriately grand as well. I am usually quick to find fault, and after listening to this recording many times, I can find very little not to reccommend.
