Tchaikovsky: Ballet Suites / Levine, Wiener Philharmoniker

“

This recording features a superb combination: James Levine, who has excellent timing for climaxes, great ear for drama, and knows how to get serious music to be playful, whimsical, brash, and sensitive when it is called for; and the Vienna Philharmonic, an orchestra whose culture is steeped in traditional dance, especially the waltz. This combination comes together to form a dramatic realization of some very familiar ballet suites.

Composer: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Conductor: James Levine
