Mstislav Rostropovich, known for his affinity for the music of Tchaikovsky, is at his peak conducting the music of his fellow countryman on this album. He leads the Berliner Philharmoniker in stirring performances of Tchaikovsky’s ballet suites The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake, all recorded in June 1978.

“Rostropovich’s grand sense of the theatre and his warm, outgoing personality come across in spades … he gets the members of the Berlin Philharmonic to give a red-blooded performance like no other.” – The Essential Classical Recordings: 100 CDs for Today’s Listener

“Rostropovich’s triptych of ballet suites is very special. His account of The Nutcracker is enchanting … the Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake selections are hardly less distinguished …” – The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs
