While the number of albums devoted to Strauss waltzes is legion, a collection of Tchaikovsky waltzes is a rarity. To cele- brate the welcome occasion to record ROMANTIC WALTZES BY TCHAIKOVSKY, Andre Kostelanetz enfolds the bewitching music in a sheath of lowing orchestral sound.
A convincing case might be made for Tchaikovsky’s su- premacy among waltz composers. Although he did not write anywhere near as many waltzes as Johann Strauss, Jr., no other composer—not even the Waltz King himself—quite captured the many moods of the inner essence of the swaying, pliant dance as Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky did. His waltzes have a majestic elegance and noble grace that put them in a class by themselves. Surely, no one before or since has endowed the waltz with the glorious instrumentation that the Russian master lavished on his own.
It is not surprising that Tchaikovsky's waltzes should suggest the ballet stage; many of them, in fact, were intended for the ballet. Most of the selections in this album fall into this cate- gory. The famous Waltz from Act | of ‘Sleeping Beauty,” with its bold and impressive introduction and sweeping string melody, is one of the loveliest excerpts in all Tchaikovsky’s music. Mr. Kostelanetz conducts a waltz from each of the three acts of ‘Swan Lake.” Two waltzes come from the charm- ing ballet for children, ‘‘The Nutcracker’: the rhythmically buoyant Waltz of the Flowers and the stirring Waltz Finale to the ballet itself.
