FALLA Three Cornered Hat
Ernest Ansermet Conducting l'Orchestre de la Suisee Romande
Teresa Berganza, Mezzo Soprano
EX/EX Used Audiophile Vinyl Record
Record Label: London ffrr CS 6225 (Stereo) UK
Original red label London ffrr in extremely nice condition. Cover has slight ring wear and spine has the beginning of chipping. Vinyl is very clean and plays nicely.
Review: This is one of those period sonic extravaganzas that can still stand up to the best recordings made today. And The Three-Cornered Hat, with its kaleidoscopic sequence of instrumental colors, interspersed with a large battery of Spanish percussion, is one of the best palettes ever devised for the sound engineer. Ansermet conducted the ballet's premiere in 1919, with sets by Picasso and dancers from the celebrated Ballets Russes. He knew the work better than any other conductor, and what emerged onto vinyl was a riot of color -- brass, winds, percussion, and vocal "olé!" exclamations. Some unique effects of the original recording -- Berganza and a few of the instrumentalists are placed at some distance from the microphones in order to create a spacious, quasi-live effect.
