  Decca SXL 2221 - Rimsky-Korsakov - Ernest Ansermet

How dull the world would be without fairy tales! In Slavonic countries, numerous generations have uttered these words and taken especial heed to pass on to their children the wonderful stories which all begin with the words “Once upon a time ...”. In this country, such matters seem to be of less importance when one considers how rare it is to see a Russian fairy-tale opera on the programme. If you do not happen to have tickets for the Bolshoi Theatre in your pocket, then you really must listen to the Orchestral Suite from The Tale of Tsar Saltan: a delightful 20 minutes of highlights from one of opera’s masterworks. Introduced by a blaring fanfare in every case, each of these wonderfully expressive musical gems is filled with highly original melodies, exquisite rhythms and brilliant orchestration. The B Side offers a foretaste of a Russian “Midsummer Night’s Dream”: based on Ukrainian folk melodies, the Overture to May Night evokes a vivid picture of elves and water-nymphs. The Russian Easter Festival Overture, with its liturgical elements, provides a contrast to the lyrical fairy-tale music and rounds off this delightful Rimsky-Korsakov portrait which no music lover should fail to include in his collection.

About vinyl-house-uk

We are a group of genuine music enthusiasts specialising in classic / progressive rock, jazz, folk & classical. When you buy from vinyl-house-uk you are buying from people who care about the music as much as we know you, the listener does. We are committed to providing the best service we can.

Cleaning / Postage & Packaging

Every record we send out is fully cleaned, first using a carbon brush to remove any dust, then with a VPI HW 16.5 record cleaner using a four-step process consisting of an active enzyme cleaner, premixed vinyl cleaner, ultra-pure water rinse solution and finishing with a high resolution rinse - each step has its own dedicated brush. This process gets down deeper into the grooves and removes any contaminants. The improvement in the sound is startling. It is then placed in a brand new liner (original liner is always included if present) and then packaged in a record mailer (with stiffeners) with the vinyl placed in a separate sleeve. We aim to despatch within 2-3 working days.
