As with his Decca recordings of Ballet Music, Fistoulari again delivers a lively reading of Khachaturian's famous ballet piece. Is this performance the equal of the HP acclaimed Mercury? No, it's better! Add to that earth shattering bass power and spacious detail - especially in ambient high frequency range - and you have a winner that is both delightful and revealing to listen to over and over again. Bert Whyte is again at the controls for another outstanding Everest 35mm recording at London's famed Walthamstow Assembly Hall - the same hall used extensively by Decca and Kenneth Wilkinson.
