Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty / Various Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty / Various CD

2009 2X CD reissue of the 1974 release. Sleeping Beauty, the most ambitious of Tchaikovsky's three ballet scores, was premiered in 1890 with choreography by Marius Petipa. It opens with an evocation of opposing magical forces, the ferocious wicked fairy Carabosse and the benign Lilac Fairy, and the flowing Waltz and haunting Rose Adagio are just two of it's many jewels. This recording by the London Symphony Orchestra under Andre Previn tells the magical story with finesse & symphonic splendor.
