The Nutcracker / Swan Lake

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

The Nutcracker / Swan Lake is a compilation of orchestral works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, presenting music from his ballets composed in 1875–76 and 1891–92. The music exemplifies late Romantic orchestration, combining sweeping melodies, vivid orchestral colour and dance forms such as waltzes and polonaises, and together these ballets represent Tchaikovsky's major contributions to the ballet repertoire and the development of narrative-driven dance music.
