Recorded February 1986 at the State University, Purchase, N.Y. A Balanchine Album marks the return to the recording studio of the New York City Ballet Orchestra—under the direction of Robert Irving—for the first time in almost a decade. The record consists of compositions to which George Balanchine created four of his best-known ballets: Paul Hindemith’s Theme with Four Variations [According to the Four Temperaments] (The Four Temperaments, 1946), Igor Stravinsky’s Agon (Agon, 1957), music from Gabriel Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande and Shylock (“Emeralds” from Jewels, 1967), and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings (Serenade, 1935). The first two pieces were commissioned: the Hindemith by Balanchine himself and the Stravinsky by Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein.
