Svetlanov Immerse yourself in the graceful and witty musical world of Alexander Glazunov! ???? This video features the complete version of the one-act ballet-pantomime "La Dame de Sorbet," Op. 61, performed brilliantly and exemplarily. "La Dame de Sorbet" (1916) is a late and somewhat unexpected work by the great Russian symphonist. The plot, based on a play by Cervantes, tells of a comical cross-dressing situation in which a servant (a sobeetka) helps her mistress deceive her jealous husband. Glazunov's music is a virtuoso blend of elegant humor, sparkling dance rhythms (waltzes, galops), heartfelt lyricism, and Spanish flavor. This is not a monumental "Raymonda," but a chamber masterpiece, full of charm and brilliant orchestration. At the conductor's podium is a legend of the Russian conducting school, Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov. His interpretations of Russian music are considered benchmarks. Under his direction, the USSR State Symphony Orchestra sounds powerful, passionate, and with astonishing detail. Svetlanov masterfully highlights both the spirited dance episodes and the subtle lyricism of this score. This recording is an example of the highest professional art of Soviet musical culture. Glazunov and Svetlanov are the perfect pairing for this work, where classical form is imbued with a vibrant, almost theatrical spirit. / 00:00 / 05:33 / 08:53 / 11:54 / 14:09 / 15:00 / 18:34 / 22:33 / 25:18 / 26:19 / 29:27 / 35:23 / 41:13 / 45:49 / 53:36 / Dear listeners, you can support the channel: https://donatepay.ru/don/1448163 or https://t.me/rad_siar_al_bot or https://app.lava.top/1360410176?tabId=donate
