Gayaneh [Gayane]
RCA/BMG #63459 (2 CDs)

Composed originally in 1942. This recording is based from the 1957 revised version. The Full Orchestral Score of the 1957 revision is available on the
Aram Khachaturyan Collected Works in 24 volumes, vol.7-8-9, State Publishers "Muzyka", Moscow 1988

There is one "complete" performance of the Khachaturyan ballet. It was at one time on Melodiya in 1978 and was last issued by BMG Entertainment in 1999. It features a stirring performance by the USSR RTV Large Symphony Orchestra, Djansug Kakhidze conducting. The Act I "Lezhginka" here receives an extraordinary performance, with rhythmic complexity totally absent from all other recordings, even the Lazarov. (Aram Khachaturian himself was Artistic Supervisor for the recording.) The entire ballet is well worth adding to your collection and I cannot recommend it highly enough, with one caveat. If you love Gayane's "Adagio" (or Lullaby), don't expect to find it on this 2-CD set. For reasons which entirely escape me, the whole 4-½ minute sequence is omitted! This was a major disappointment. Otherwise, the performance is pure revelation and casts a tall shadow over all the excerpt recordings. But, if you want Gayane's "Adagio", stick with the Decca recording with Khachaturian conducting.
