Still awake? Read my review of SleepTracks Sleep Optimization Program.
This is a lovely recording for those who just wish to enjoy the music, but the tempi are much to fast to make it a practicle recording for dancers to use. For a more danceable recording, I recommend the one on the Naxos label, conducted by Andrew Mogrelia, who is a principal conductor for the San Francisco Ballet.

This was purchased so we could have a musical CD of this favorite from the Ballet Music corpus. We were not disappointed: it alternates between our vehicles and our home.

At a bargain price, this is a very good version of this spectacular score for beginners. Nobody mentioned this in their reviews, so I would like to pose this question: why do the cellos play IN THE WRONG CLEF during the march!? Listen to any other recording and you know something is dreadfully wrong here.
Thankfully -- or not -- the torture lasts for only 16 bars, and the rest of the recording is fine. But in the words of the late Yul Brynner: "Is a puzzlement!"
Rating: 3 / 5
Another unforgetable experience and another gift from a great master.

It's the only word.
The Sleeping Beauty is the best of Tchaikovsky's works. Antal Dorati really knew how it had to be played.
The music is royal, noble, rococo, (the introduction, the march of the prologue, the introduction and the dances of the second act for example) but also enchanting, heavenly, and even frivolous (the "Danse des Demoiselles d'Honneur et des Pages", the "Danse des Marquises", the "Variations de la Princesse Florine et de l'Oiseau Bleu" or the "Colin-Maillard").
I fell in love with the music.
