A panoramic view of a fantastical story, depicted with exquisite sound
This complete recording of "Swan Lake" by conductor Ernest Ansermet and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, which he himself developed, rejects excessive romanticism and emphasizes the rhythm and clarity of ballet music.
The separation of each instrument is excellent, with the delicate tones of the woodwinds and the articulation of the strings clearly emerging. This precise sound balance highlights the colorful orchestration woven into Tchaikovsky's score, and in famous scenes such as "Scene" and "Dance of the Four Swans," the calm perspective and well-controlled ensemble build the fantastical worldview of the story.
