The Russian composer's first ballet is offered here on a double LP and although not a complete recording, this compilation (with a minimum of cuts) certainly comprises the most beautiful and expressive scenes, losing nothing in the process.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBallet specialist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAnsermet and his wonderfully balanced Orchestre de la Suisse Romande offer here a recording which you'll want to hear again and again for it captures both the tragic moments of the fairy tale and the festive dance scenes.

The various characteristics of the festive national dances (Polkas, Mazurkas, Hungarian Dance etc.) are performed with temperament, verve and rhythm, but it is the waltzes with their sweet dreaminess which invite the listener most of all to put on their dancing shoes and join in the dance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59548649128017,"sku":"4260019710888","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/ADEC_2107-8__7806__05142012045902-3001.jpg?v=1779355618","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/ernest-ansermet-tchaikovsky-swan-lake-speakers-corner-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
