Nutcracker / Swan Lake

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & London Festival Orchestra & Alberto Lizzio

The Nutcracker and Swan Lake are ballet suites by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1892 and 1876–1877 respectively. They employ late Romantic orchestration with sweeping melodies, rich harmonic colour, varied orchestral textures and prominent string and woodwind writing, and they came in the middle to later part of Tchaikovsky's career when he focused on ballet composition for the theatre.
