The recording of these ballet excerpts recalled to me with pleasure the many years I worked together with the Ballets Russes of Diaghileff in Paris, the United States and numerous European and South American countries, as well as my association with the Royal Ballet of London on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Diaghileff in 1954.
To direct a ballet is for a conductor a great and gratifying experience for it demands a completely special rhythmic sense, feeling for tempo and technical precision. Ballet today rarely has a large orchestra at its disposal and this is highly regrettable since ballet conductors need it if the musical effect is to be what it should.
In general, ballet music, except for its rhythmically accentuated character, presents no special conducting problem, but the ballets of Stravinsky brought into symphonic literature changes of rhythm which completely revised the technique of conducting. In these two records it was not possible to include examples from Stravinsky since it is difficult to extract from them short excerpts. Besides, the aim of the album is to recall works on which the glory of the ballet was founded.
In my opinion, Coppélia, masterpiece of Delibes, is a model ballet and I believe this score was not without its influence on the last ballets of Tchaikovsky. These are however, in their turn, masterpieces truly worthy of the great musician which Tchaikovsky was. A progress in the quality of the music is apparent from Swan Lake to Sleeping Beauty to The Nutcracker.
The rebirth of the ballet under the influence of Diaghileff"Royal Ballet: Gala Performances" is a captivating CD that brings together some of the most celebrated ballet music, performed by the renowned Orchestre De La Suisse Romande under the masterful direction of Ernest Ansermet. This album features highlights from iconic ballets such as "Swan Lake," "The Nutcracker," and "Sleeping Beauty," offering listeners an immersive journey into the world of classical dance. Ernest Ansermet was one of the 20th century's leading conductors, acclaimed for his interpretations of French and Russian repertoire, and he played a pivotal role in popularizing orchestral ballet suites. The Orchestre De La Suisse Romande, founded by Ansermet himself in 1918, has earned international recognition for its precision and expressive performances. Released by Blue Moon?a label known for its dedication to high-quality classical reissues?this CD stands out both for its artistic excellence and pristine sound quality. |
