Title: OK, but not the best...
Review: Andre Previn is definetely a noteworthy conductor, however he can't match the Tchaikovsky insight that Antal Dorati has. This recording seems to lengthen the ballet even more than the almost 3 hours it already is. If you are looking for Sleeping Beauty in a dynamic, clear recoding with 2 jam-packed CD's for the price of one, I suggested looking for Sleeping Beauty as conducted by Antal Dorati and remastered by RCA. Dorati's stressed stings, and gutty attack on the music bring out the beauty of the Russian-ness of the ballet. Don't miss out on a deal like that just because you know the name Previn.
Is the review positive or negative?
