Vladimir Jurowski gives a 'no-nonsense and sometimes rather brisk approach' to Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty
Given the sheer multitude of recordings of Tchaikovsky’s ballets, it seems perhaps foolhardy of ICA Classics to release a recording, even at mid-price, of Sleeping Beauty based entirely on a single live concert performance. One of today’s most acclaimed conductors, Vladimir Jurowski’s characteristically no-nonsense and sometimes rather brisk approach informs this account by the Moscow-based State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia.
