Author: Ivan March
A modern digital coupling of suites from Gayaneh and Spartacus was overdue and this one fits the bill nicely. It is obviously a studioi recording but the controlled ambience means that Khachaturian's noisier scoring does not spread and become ugly (even so, there are moments when the focus slips, notably in Spartacus). Temirkanov has the measure of the music. He opens Gayaneh with the ''Gopak'' rather than the ''Sabre dance'' (though this famous piece comes second) and creates an engagingly good-humoured mood. There is plenty of vitality in both suites and strong characterization, while the famous ''Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia'' is spaciously conceiv ed and not too histrionic. Khachaturian's musical invention is sometimes short-winded, but his best ideas are indelible and the crisp scoring is nicely caught here. A shade more ambient atmosphere would have been ideal, but the acoustics suit the bright-eyed, sparkling quality of the playing.'
