Swan Lake

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Симфонический оркестр Мариинского театра & Valery Gergiev

Swan Lake is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, first performed in 1877. Its orchestral score, written in the late Romantic idiom, employs sweeping melodies, recurring motifs and classical dance forms to drive the dramatic narrative, and it represents a pivotal work in Tchaikovsky's output and in the development of theatrical ballet music.
