Gennady Rozhdestvensky
Beeping Classics Great Russian Ballet Music BRB3 [135:39]
"Rozhdestvensky's recording has a very strong Russian colouring, nowhere more strikingly different from a Western approach than in the Waltz of the Snowflakes, with the treble voices sing lustily. The timbres of woodwind and brass are strong-textured, the colouring bold...The result is refreshingly spontaneous and full of character."
