Rimsky-Korsakov: The Snow Maiden; Sadko; Mlada; Le Coq d'or
Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestral genius shines through in his colourful operatic suites, and that from his final opera Le Coq d'or is richly dramatic and expressive. The complicated folk-based story of the Snow Maiden is simplified into four enchanting movements, and that of Sadko into a single, radiantly descriptive tone-poem. The thrilling legend of Mlada is represented by vivid dances and a final Cortège. Gerard Schwarz's recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade (8.572693) with the Seattle Symphony was described as 'absolutely terrific'. (ClassicsToday.com)
