product description
**Tschaikowsky: Onegin - Complete Recording Double-CD**
"Who dares, ..."
John Cranko's full-length ballet Onegin is one of the most moving works ever created for the dance stage. The premiere took place in Stuttgart in 1995.
Originally, Cranko intended to use an adaptation of Tchaikovsky's opera music for his Onegin. It was said at the time that he would choreograph it with Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev in London. However, the management at Covent Garden wanted nothing to do with it. In Stuttgart, Walter Erich Schäfer took a similar stance. The solution was found by Cranko's musical collaborator Kurt-Heinz Stolze. He offered to orchestrate some mostly unknown compositions by Tchaikovsky for a completely new ballet score, without using a single bar from the opera.
For years, the enthusiastic audience of John Cranko's Onegin has been asking for a recording of Tchaikovsky's music. In 1999, the Stuttgart State Theater, in collaboration with the Bauer Studios, realized this project. Under the direction of James Tuggle, the music director of the Stuttgart Ballet, the Stuttgart State Orchestra recorded the first official complete edition of the Onegin music in October of that year. The excellent result is presented on this double CD.
