Now I bring you one of the most beautiful and thrilling ballet scores ever written for the theatre. If you have never heard the main melody, Spartacus & Phrygia, Requiem, or Adagio themes before, you are in for a real treat. An example of orchestral writing at its finest. Khachaturian’s Spartacus is stunning, melodious, lively, and just plain gorgeous. Enjoy

I haven’t heard this recording. Capriccio are an excellent label that seem to fly under the radar of the classical press.

Look forward to listening, thanks!

I don’t know much about classical labels, just that this is the only real complete recording available right now. Everyone else just has the 3 suites, which are wonderful as well.

Any chance for a re-up? Thanks. AK’s music has such a luxuriant, decadent feel. Fred Steiner emulated some of that feel in his "Mirror, Mirror" music, I think
