Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Shortly after recording these three ballet suites in 1978, Mstislav Rostropovich likened conducting the Berlin Philharmonic to driving a locomotive. You get on, and you go where it takes you, he said--but in this case, the orchestra went where he wanted it to go. The playing is magnificent, but it is the characterization, the things Rostropovich gets the players to do that they wouldn't otherwise have done, that makes these accounts so memorable. As you listen, you are transported to a different world, for no conductor understands Tchaikovsky's soul better than Rostropovich. The delicacy is amazing, the power overwhelming; the analog recording captures it all in outstanding fashion. --Ted Libbey

Powerful Interpretations,
By A. Michaelson "A. Michaelson" (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nutcracker Suite (Audio CD)
Rostropovich came into prominance as one of the premier cellists in the world. Who would ever have thought that he would also make an incredible conductor. It's quite common nowadays to see a pianist move from the bench to the podium, but it's a rare spectacle to see a cellist become maestro. In this case, however, it worked wonderfully. These three recordings of Tchaikovsky's three most famous ballet suites are incomparable. Rostropovich is somehow able to get the Berliners to play like there's no tomorrow. The emotional depth that the BPO elicits from their instruments is incomparable. If I had to choose a highlight it would have to be the Sleeping Beauty Suite, but the decision is very difficult to make. Just listen to this disc. The pieces are essential to any classical collection so may as well get this version, which is quite simply the very best available.

Outstanding Tchaikovsky disc,
By
This review is from: Nutcracker Suite (Audio CD)
Outstanding versions of Tchaikovsky's three popular ballet suites. The Berlin Philharmonic is in glowing form and Mstislav Rostropovich on the rostrum sounds inspired as none else. Warmly and dynamically recorded, with plenty of orchestral detail, this thrilling disc may stand as a criterion from the analogue era.If you only need the suites, or if you think this music no longer holds any surprises for you, this is the CD to go for. Highly recommended.

moving and memorable,
By
This review is from: Nutcracker Suite (Audio CD)
These melodies were gems buried with my youth, and it was a powerful experience to pop in this CD and retrieve them each, one by one. I cannot compare this particular recording against others, but I can say that it is absolutely spectacular. This recording has removed the anonymity these songs had accumulated in mind after hearing them in so many places in pop culture, so often repeated and out of context. Highly recommended!
