“Kees Bakels… secures phenomenally crisp ensemble from this orchestra of international players than he founded as recently as 1998. It is good to be reminded of the extraordinary brilliance of Rimsky's orchestrating, here wonderfully clarified thanks to the playing; it's never studied or lacking in thrust.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2006 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Fantasy and folklore are the subject of this 2CD collection of orchestral pieces by Rimsky-Korsakov recorded between 1953 and 1963 by the Suisse Romande Orchestra and Ernest Ansermet. We encounter Antar, disillusioned son of a slave who rises to become a Bedouin chief and dies in the arms of a fairy queen. We meet a Tsarina consigned to sea in a barrel with her son who transforms himself into a bumblebee; a witch who steals the moon; and a maiden who is immune from the power of the sun, thanks to her father, Winter, who is enemy of the sun! Antar represents Decca's first stereo recording and the booklet note includes an account of the making of this seminal document. The thrilling sound in many of the recordings is complemented by conducting of swiftness and astuteness, and above all, plenty of colour. “The Tsar Saltan suite shows Ansermet and the Decca engineers in glittering form... The Christmas Eve suite is played with much affection and that mixture of spontaneity and remarkably graphic orchestral palette which made Ansermet's performances special... The sound [in The Snow Maiden] is remarkably warm and richly coloured” Penguin Guide | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Rimsky Korsakov - Overture and Suites from the Operas
“Neeme Jarvi draws the most seductive response from the SNO; he consistently creates orchestral textures which are diaphanously sinuous. Yet the robust moments…are caught just as strikingly and the listener is assured that here is music which survives repetition uncommonly well.”(Penguin Complete Guide) | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
