CD Reviews

Very nice Stravinsky ballet piece. Pricy

B. Marold | Bethlehem, PA United States | 03/05/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc, featuring a perfomance of 'Le Baiser de la Fee', one of Stravinsky's less famous ballets, confirms in my mind that music for the stage (and chorus) was by far Stravinsky's strong suit, as it join's his three greatest works, the ballets 'The Rites of Spring', 'Petroushka', and 'The Firebird'. It also seems to link him more closely with other modern Russian composers, as I hear in it similarities to Prokofiev, especially his film score for 'Alexander Nevsky'.

The one problem with the CD is that it is being offered a a full price for a bare 50 minutes of material. I like Jarvi's rendintion, but you may be able to find a comparable performance on a fuller disc. I do like the very short Tchaikovsky piece, especially as it was arranged by Stravinsky."
