Utah Symphony Orchestra / Maurice Abravanel- Russian Legends & Dances (CD)
"Abravanel is very good in this music - crackling with energy tempered with tender ways with the great melodies. Antar is a neglected prize among Rimsky's works ranking with Sheherazade... Caucasian Sketches have These You Have Loved status with Procession of the Sardar establishing the idiom for a thousand Hollywood triumphal and barbarous marches... The Glière is a fun piece that stamps emphatically and clearly influenced by Mussorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition. As an inexpensive single disc collection of less obvious Russian repertoire this is difficult to top. I recommend it strongly." (Rob Barnett / MusicWeb International)
Tracklist:
- Rimsky-Korsakov: 'Antar' Suite (Symphony) Op. 9
- Ippolitov-Ivanov: Caucasian Sketches Op. 10
- Glière: The Red Poppy Op. 60
