Product Description

From Amazon.com

Khachaturian's popular ballet scores benefit from his vigorous leadership and the surprisingly idiomatic playing of the Vienna Philharmonic. All the favorite crowd-pleasers are here, including the Sabre Dance. This pairing of ballet suites was a demonstration disc back in LP days and the engineering is still impressive. For those not on Khachaturian's wave length (he does skate perilously close to kitschy vulgarism), the generous filler is a delight--Ansermet's dynamic account of Glazunov's ballet. Its four movements depict the four seasons in an idiom flavored by Tchaikovsky and Glazunov's teacher, Rimsky-Korsakov, and the music's all the more fetching for it. Ansermet sometimes could be a bit too sedate, and his orchestra was never a world-class group, but his conducting is nothing short of vivacious here, and the orchestra, captured in vivid sound, is with him all the way. --Dan Davis

5.0 out of 5 stars Hudsucker Proxy, Nov 11 2003
By Nathaniel Jones "guywiththecoat" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For a number of years, I've been under the impression that the "Adagio of Spartacus" was simply called "The Hudsucker Proxy Theme." Now I know that where I have been giving credit to Carter Burwell and the Hudsucker Proxy soundtrack, I should have been giving credit to this album - it has both the Adagio of Spartacus and the Sabre Dance - the two best songs from the Hudsucker Proxy, in their original forms. If you are a fan of Hudsucker, BUY THIS ALBUM!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay Khachaturian!, Nov 2 2003
By A Customer
One of the most important tools in learning a new piece of music is having access to a good recording. When the conductor of my orchestra announced that we would be perfoming Spartacus this season, I was a little dissapointed; having never heard of this piece of music, I wondered why my conductor found it so intriguing... then, picked up this recording... wow! Not only is this music among the most interesting and original I've ever heard or performed, but this particular recording is wonderfully musical. It is much easier to understand my conductors musical choices when I listen to this, as Khachaturian appears to be a very good orchestra leader, with well developped ideas of the style of performance. This recording makes it very easy to understand why my conductor chose to program this piece, and is a very exciting addition to my CD collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Spartacus, Dec 12 2001
By LUIS R. AVELEYRA (Cuernavaca, Morelos Mexico) - See all my reviews
I listened first time this beatiful music in 1979 when I saw "Caligula" picture and I was impressed by its tematic richness.

Now when I had this CD, I check one more time the magnificent beautiful of this music. Is a great example of feeling, sensivity and strength.

The great composer Shostakovich said that this is a common music, but isn't true.

Not having been familiar with the name Khachaturian, I overlooked this release in the Decca Legends series for a while. Read more
