TCHEREPNIN, N.: Pavillon d'Armide (Le) [Ballet] (Moscow Symphony, Henry Shek)

Nikolay Tcherepnin’s Le Pavillon d’Armide opened the first of Dyagilev’s Ballets Russes seasons in Paris, a work that brought the Paris début of Nijinsky. The work occupies an important place in the history of ballet, with music that has about it more of Tchaikovsky or Rimsky-Korsakov than of Stravinsky.
