Swan Lake

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Philharmonia Orchestra & John Lanchbery

Swan Lake is a ballet by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, first performed in 1877. The score exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration with sweeping melodies, recurring motifs and vivid orchestral colour that support its narrative themes, and it helped define the sound and structure of theatrical ballet in the late 19th century while forming a central part of Tchaikovsky's balletic output.
