Swan Lake (excerpts)

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Boston Pops Orchestra & Arthur Fiedler

Swan Lake (excerpts) is an album of orchestral excerpts from the ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1875–1876. The music exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration, featuring sweeping melodies, rich string textures and vivid ballet rhythms, and it occupies a central place in Tchaikovsky's output as a formative work that helped define the conventions of theatrical ballet music.
