„The Wooden Prince“ is a fairy tale ballet with an original story by Bartók’s literary acquaintance Béla Balázs, who had also written the libretto to Bluebeard’s Castle (available on Naxos 8.660928). Though outwardly sunny in its subject matter, The Wooden Prince has a mystical side that may explain Bartók’s attraction to the story. The ballet’s opening pages have often been compared to the opening of Wagner’s Das Rheingold, and the majestic heart of the score lies in the glorious music Bartók wrote to accompany the prince’s apotheosis.
„The Wooden Prince (1917) is an epic orchestral narrative: he himself described it as a ‘symphonic poem for dancing’. The bizarre story concerns a prince who falls in love with a princess in a magic forest and attracts her interest with a dancing puppet version of himself. Bartók’s music blends some very mild modernism with enormous, late-Romantic orchestral firepower—clearly this is a young master-composer at work—and the renowned Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under the skilled hands of Marin Alsop brings an impressively strong response to his demands. The recorded acoustic is a touch overspacious and boomy—but better that, in a huge score like this, than too tight.“ (Malcolm Hayes, Classic FM)
„As with their earlier Bartók releases, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under Marin Alsop gives a fine, colourful and insightful account. The opening, in which Bartók essentially re-imagines Das Rheingold, grows majestically from its initial murmur, and the ebb and flow of the dances is well paced. lvan Fischer’s Budapest account (Philips) is more ethereal in the mystical passages and more playful elsewhere, but it is only available on a three-disc set and, even without a filler, Alsop’s account belies its budget price. Marin Alsop’s recording joins the club of favorite Princes…Naxos’s cover notes similarities between the opening to Wooden Prince and Wagner’s Reingold. Alsop’s sweep and the sheen of the Bournemouth strings reinforce that observation…Alsop really excels in ‘Great Apotheosis’. This is the emotional center of the ballet, and she makes more of its color and passion than anyone.“ (Roger Hecht, American Record Guide)
