5.0 out of 5 stars
Top notch Tchaikovsky from Fiedler and the Boston Pops, 1963,
By
This review is from: Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake (Highlights) (Audio CD)
Arthur Fiedler (1894-1979) made this recording of excerpts from "Swan Lake" with the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1963, and the sound is excellent. The playing of the Boston Pops (the Boston Symphony minus first chair players) is very fine: ensemble and intonation are A-1. Fiedler takes some fast, bracing tempos in some movements, such as the "Czardas", and it's really exciting.
My only regret is that the playing time is only 47+ minutes. This is the type of disc you wish would go on longer than the actual playing time. But, that's what REPEAT buttons are for on CD and DVD players, right? This disc is a great bargain for both sound and playing, and I highly recommend it. I thoroughly enjoyed Fiedler's "Swan Lake", and I've heard other recordings of Swan Lake: excerpts by Ormandy/Philadelphia (Sony), Bernstein/New York (CBS), Abravanel/Utah (MCA), and the complete ballet by Bonynge/National Philharmonic (Decca).
