Description:

This is a disc in which you can enjoy only the best of a masterpiece that is synonymous with ballet music. Although “Swan Lake” is now a very popular ballet, the great success of its revival at the Mariinsky Theatre in 1895 established the work’s reputation. The dramatic and magnificent performance conducted by the charismatic conductor of our time, Gergiev, who leads the theater associated with this work, is a gorgeous standard for the 21st century.
