¡Kabalevsky: The Comedians
¡Efrem Kurtz (conductor), NHK Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Kurz's Russian ballet works are reminiscent of the glamorous stage. Efrem Kurtz (1900-1995) was born in Russia and was active as a conductor in Europe and the United States after the revolution. Here we will hear Kurz's best Russian ballets and small pieces of dramatic music. The waltz from Khachaturian's "Masked Ball," a well-known figure skating piece, is a masterpiece of rich Russian singing. Kabalevsky's "The Clown," which includes "Gallop," a standard piece for athletic events, is also valuable. Barber's masterpiece, "Adagio for Strings," is also a surprise as if it were Tchaikovsky in Kurz's hands. Includes Japanese obi and commentary. Recordings: May 5 and 26, 1962 at NHK Hall (public recording), June 7, 1962 at Tokyo Kosei-Nenkin Kaikan (public recording)
