DELI BES

COPPEIJA (Compiele Bullet)

Minneapoli* Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antal Dorati. Mercurv Stereo SR2-9005. Price $11.90. Two dUce.

To complcment its recent issuc of the com-plete ballct "Sylvia," herc is Dclibes’ other mastcrpiecc in its complete format, "Cop-pclia.” As is to bc cxpectcd by now, ballet pcrformances under the baton of Dorati arc near dcfinitivc. He has that uncanny sense of rhythmic cxactitude which makes his per-formances Dow along so beautifully and. at the same time, hc is cvcr aware of the lyric aspects of the score.

This is wondcrfully balanced throughout and Mercury has furthered the projcct by giving the disc somc outstanding stereo. This is cspccially notable for the ease in aural positioning of instruments, the solid sonie wali presented by the 3-channel technique and the over-alI lack of distortion and wide frequency and dynamics. Add a finał fillip in the form of spacious acoustics and the disc is a winner    -00—
