{"product_id":"marin-alsop-miraculous-mandarin-cd","title":"Marin Alsop - Miraculous Mandarin (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo get an idea of how thoroughly Marin Alsop has studied the composer's style, check out the fourth of the Hungarian Pictures (it's title translated here as \"Slightly Tipsy\"). She has the orchestra playing this music with the same kind of erratic, lurch rhythm the composer used in his own piano recording, a comic effect which is difficult to reproduce in an orchestra. The performance of The Miraculous Mandarin offers the complete ballet, with it's breathtaking choral finale, not just the more commonly heard suite. Alsop gets the orchestra to play with powerful rhythmic drive (equally true in the exciting Dance Suite) and a great deal of color. Some of the power is dissipated by slightly diffuse recording, but it's still a pleasure to hear this wonderful music played with such conviction and fine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening: The Girl and the Three Tramps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e First Seduction Game: The Shabby Old Rake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Second Seduction Game: The Young Student\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Third Seduction Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mandarin Enters and Remains Immobile in the Doorway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Girl Begins a Hesitant Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mandarin Stumbles-The Chase Becomes Even More Passionate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Three Tramps Leap Out Seize the Mandarin and Tear Him Away from the Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Suddenly the Mandarin's Head Appears Between the Pillows and He Looks Longingly at the Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Terrivied Tramps Discuss How They Are to Get Rid of the Mandarin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Body of the Mandarin Begins to Glow with a Greenish Blue Light - Bournemouth Symphony Choir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Resists No Longer-They Embrace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I.
