About
Tchaikovsky Ballet Suites was enormously successful when released in 2016, and now reappears in a stereo re-issue. The album had the sisters Mari and Momo Kodama together for the first time in the recording studio, on scintillating form in lively arrangements of music from Tchaikovsky's ballets Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker. In another first, the release contains the first ever recording of Arensky's transcription of the timeless Nutcracker together with notable arrangements by Debussy and Rachmaninoff. The sisters Mari and Momo Kodama both pursue busy international careers. Momo specialises in French and Japanese composers and 20th century and contemporary composers; she has been widely praised for her 'attractive, lyrical tone' and 'technical brilliance'. Mari has established an international reputation for profound musicality and articulate virtuosity; she has recorded extensively for Pentatone. This album, which has been a huge streaming success on multiple DSPs, will now become available in Dolby Atmos as well, simultaneously to the physical stereo re[1]issue.

Awards and reviews
Mar/Apr 2024
Right from the very quick and energetic start of Sleeping Beauty’s Introduction, you know that the Kodamas’ performance will be very special. As the music unfolds, you hear their great attention to detail, and supreme virtuosity always at the service of the music. Pentatone’s superb sound remains excellent…for this type of music, in this type of arrangement, it simply does not get any better.
