Music reviews of Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (complete) / Symphony No. 4 (complete)
Music Review: The Most Magical NUTCRACKER On The Planet!
Rating: 5 Stars
Although I have been a classical music announcer for almost 20 years, this is my first review of a classical recording. I have avoided doing it for a variety of reasons. Having listened to and/or played hundreds of recordings, it becomes increasingly difficult to single out particular performances as being that much better than the rest. There is no such problem with this recording. I have waited since 1988 (when it first appeared on CD in a substandard transfer) for this remastered version to appear. It has been well worth the wait. This is the NUTCRACKER against which all others must be measured. One of the first recordings of the complete score and STILL the best.
Artur Rodzinski knew better than almost anyone how to distinguish and embellish the different sections of the orchestra while never missing a beat. In other words the sound of Stokowski with the precision of Toscanini (he worked closely with both for many years). What you get in this recording is the clarity of chamber music with the power of a full orchestra. Here is Tchaikovsky the master orchestrater not the overblown sentimentalist that he often comes across as. This is one of his finest scores and Rodzinski and the Royal Philharmonic deliver from first note to last. Even the overly familiar sections that make up the famous Suite sound fresh and new here. And as if that weren't enough this double CD set features the Symphony #4 from the same 1956 sessions.
This is one of 5 new releases reviving the legendary Westminster label (there are 14 so far). Westminster is to Classical Music what Chess is to Blues or Blue Note is to Jazz. Deutsche Grammophon now owns the rights to these fabled recordings and is doing them up proud with the kind of restoration that they deserve allowing the Westminster "Natural Balance" to come forth in its best incarnation ever. The series is called Westminster-The Legacy and while they are ALL worth your time (even if you're not a fan of Classical Music), this one belongs in every library. The price is a knockout too. The most MAGICAL recording of the piece on the planet! And speaking of planets, DG/Westminster has also released Adrian Boult's 1959 recording of THE PLANETS which is...but that's another story.
