This is an excellent recording of some of the greatest ballet music in the repetoire. It is well balanced with a true to life sound. The playing of the LSO is decisive and incisive, with the music overall having a somewhat hypnotic quality. The Rite of Spring is the best realised piece, with vivid, well focused internal detail. Haitink's gift here is to carry us forward incisively without us feeling frog-marched into position.
