The Golden Age (complete ballet). Royal Scottish National Orchestra/Jose Serebrier. [2 CDs].
Author: Shostakovich, Dmitri Published: 2006 Shostakovich's original score for the 1930 Kirov production, with choreography by Vainonen and others. Grigorovich's later Bolshoi version uses only portions of the score, with other interpolations. This is the first absolutely complete recording of the score, complete with all repeats observed, enabling the listener to assess the ballet in all its exhilarating and anarchic intensity. |
