Ernest AnsermetAbout
Liking what he saw, Diaghilev imagined that the ballet, with modifications, would be perfect for his then eight-year-old company. Falla accepted the commission, and the new ballet, now called El sombrero de tres picos (‘The Three-Cornered Hat’) was premiered in London in 1919. Diaghilev had intended to have Falla himself conduct the ballet, but the composer quickly realized that he was not up to the task, and so the responsibility went to 35-year-old Swiss conductor Ernest Ansermet, who had conducted the Ballets Russes since 1915.
It has been stunningly re-mastered for this reissue and is coupled with Debussy’s highly picturesque triptych Images. This continues the much-lauded Ansermet Legacy on Decca which has systematically mined the Decca archive for re-issues of much valuable material, some of it released on CD for the first time.
‘Listening to Ansermet’s early 1960s version of The Three-Cornered Hat, you understand why his recordings are cherished by audiophiles: the sound is glitteringly brilliant and full. The performance has lots of character and shows the conductor and his orchestra on top form […] the Interlude and Dance from La vida breve is especially vivid here.’ - Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music
