Trondheim Solistene, Øyvind Gimse & Geir Inge Lotsberg "Through its dynamic co-operation TrondheimSolistene (the Trondheim Soloists) and 2L have always sought to stretch the boundaries of what is possible to convey to the listener, aiming for the ultimate recorded listening experience. With the Serenade the team has taken things one step further, with the TrondheimSolistene truly justifying their name. By placing each individual next to someone from a different musical voice rather than sitting in conventional sections we are working at the very outer limits of what is possible and creating chamber music at the highest level" - Øyvind Gimse. |

Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty was the second of his ballets, conceived on a grand scale and the most symphonic in nature. Of his three ballets, it was possibly the best received by the public and critics alike. This iconic 1959 recording from Ernest Ansermet marks one of his many highlights in his long recording career with Decca Records. |

Excerpts from works by Tchaikovsky,Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Ravel
This compendium covers a golden age, a century during which the ballet emerged from being a court entertainment to the cutting-edge of 20th century modernity. The majority of the works represented on this 3-CD set are French or Russian. Classical ballet has its origins in the baroque opera-ballets of the 18th century French court and it is hardly surprising that the growing cosmopolitanism and wealth of the Russian court should see French composers and ballet –masters drawn to Russia. It was not long before Russian composers, too, began composing for the ballet. |
