Provenance

Where it came from

Rodion Shchedrin composed the Carmen Suite in 1967 for his wife, the legendary ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. Originally intended as a ballet score, the work boldly reimagines Georges Bizet's opera through the lens of Soviet-era musical innovation, utilizing a unique orchestration of strings and diverse percussion to capture the drama of the original source material. The piece quickly became a hallmark of the Bolshoi Theatre's repertoire.

This 1998 release by the Musical Heritage Society compiles Shchedrin's work alongside his score for Anna Karenina, showcasing performances by the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra under Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra led by Evgeni Svetlanov. The album serves as a significant archival pairing of two of Shchedrin's most evocative dramatic suites, providing listeners with a refined look at the composer's ability to translate complex literary and operatic narratives into vivid orchestral experiences.
