Swan Lake

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Charles Dutoit & Orchestre symphonique de Montréal

Swan Lake is a full-length ballet by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, first performed in 1877. The score exemplifies late Romantic orchestration with sweeping melodies, recurring motifs tied to characters and a mix of lyrical passages and dance rhythms, and as Tchaikovsky's first full-length ballet score it influenced later approaches to ballet composition.
