Top Choice
Lorin Maazel / Cleveland Orchestra
1973 The entire thing (2 discs).Favorite recording, never changed. This is for the entire ballet. Virtuosic, wonderfully recorded, hits all the notes in terms of pacing, sound, and playing. Can't say enough good things.
Also Worth Hearing
Serge Koussevitzky / Boston Symphony Orchestra
1945 Suite No. 2. Old recording, not badly recorded.A supplement, this is just the Suite No. 2. Played with such passion and drama, and the beautiful Boston strings, that it's recommended.
