Stravinsky | Petrushka - Le Sacre du Printemps
Dorati's record of "Petrushka" is based on the 1947 version though at certain points he reverts to the original 1911 scoring, basing his decisions on his recollection of a conversation he had with Stravinsky himself about "the ideal Petrushka". Dorati's version must be acclaimed as an altogether splendid recording: vivid, exceptionally clean, well-focused and transparent textures, and splendid body. The performance, as one would expect from so experienced a ballet conductor, is a good one: sensitive and characterful.
