Review "...a very rich and expansive sound due to creative microphone placement. The performance is simply stunning as well, charged with energy and excitement. The electrifying young conductor Andrew Litton uses the choral version of the overture, which is rarely recorded. Also included on the disc are a rarely performed Coronation Canata written for Alexander III of Russia in 1883, and a suite arranged by Litton of some of the composer's best-loved melodies from the "Sleeping Beauty" ballet. The "Waltz" is absolutely luscious. -- The Sun Product Description This performance of the 184-year-old hit was recorded on the new AC-3 Dolby Digital format and marks the first recording of it's kind in the world. Andrew Litton conducted the Dallas Symphony Orchestra on this album. For those who aren't sure which overature this is, it's the one that goes "(crash) da da da da da da da da - da - daaa.", ISBN13: B00000070J ISBN10: B00000070J Material Type: audioCDReview "...a very rich and expansive sound due to creative microphone placement.
