Tchaikovsky himself feared comparison with Delibes, and rightly so. The Frenchman's two full-length ballets, Coppelia and Sylvia, set a standard for tunefulness and craftsmanship that was well-nigh unbeatable. While these great works have always been beloved by ballet aficionados, they aren't as well known as they should be by general audiences. Part of the reason no doubt stems from the lack of popular suites for concert performance. Most 19th-century French composers wrote either operas or ballets, but nothing else. Absent a large body of orchestral music or a tradition of public concerts, there was really no opportunity for Delibes to break out of the "ballet ghetto." Recordings of this quality should go a long way towards addressing this musical miscarriage of justice. --David Hurwitz

Described as "a major Russian prodigy," Nina Kotova, daughter of two musicians, had a promising musical beginning, but had to leave Russia and spent some years modeling and composing before returning to the cello. This debut recording proves that she is indeed very talented, but is designed mainly to display her tone, which is full and pure in every register and rather beautiful, if without much variation. The program consists of short pieces, mostly transcriptions, predominantly Russian and predominantly slow, sentimental, and melancholy. Kotova made many arrangements herself, presumably including the orchestrations, and there are also several of her own compositions. She describes the latter as representing real-life events and experiences; several contain elements of jazz and improvisation. The orchestrations throughout are full of color and sound effects, but seem more suitable as accompaniments for films than for concert pieces. The playing reflects the rather limited expression and mood of the music, and is clean, disciplined, and controlled. It will be interesting to see how this gifted player approaches a musically more substantial, varied program. --Edith Eisler
