Author: Ivan March
Although listed as a 'suite', this collection includes music from both suites. In fact 'highlights' might be a better description, for the 20 numbers follow the action sequence pretty thoroughly. The digital recording has a spectacular breadth of dynamic and at the big Midnight climax with the clock ticking almost stereoscopically the sound expands impressively. Basically the spacious acoustic presents a pleasingly natural orchestral image and my only complaint is that the upper range has a bright digital coloration. I won't say edge, but the upper string sheen at fortissimo level is more brightly lit (and not to advantage) than one would experience in the concert hall. As we have discovered from their other recent records the St Louis orchestra is playing extremely well at the moment, but I found Leonard Slatkin's characterization just a trifle bland and the detail and rhythmic feeling of the music-making is a little underprojected.
As it happens there is a marvellous mid-price HMV Greensleeve record which offers very generous selections both from Cinderella and Romeo and Juliet under Robert Irving and Efrem Kurtz respectively. Of course the Cinderella selection is not so extensive as on RCA but the playing of the RPO is marvellously vivid and rhythmically buoyant. The recording is as early as 1958 but has been very successfully remastered and sounds excellent (HMV ESD7151, 6/82). But for those wanting a fuller selection, yet not prepared to invest in either the Previn (HMV) or Ashkenazy (Decca) complete sets, this RCA compilation makes a fair alternative. The chrome cassette is admirably managed, with the sound very close to the LP. If anything outlines are firmer, slightly less soft-grained.'
