Tchaikovsky Masterpiece On 3LP Set! Remastered from the Original Tapes at Abbey Road!
Andre Previn leads the London Symphony Orchestra, featuring violin solo by Ida Haendel, for this masterpiece from Tchaikovsky.
Swan Lake is one of Tchaikovsky's supreme masterpieces, as remarkable for its emotional content as for the beauty of it's melody and orchestration.
Tchaikovskys Swan Lake, with its story of magical transformations, love and deceit and its irresistibly melodic score, defines Romantic ballet. It is no coincidence that conductor André Previn has described himself as "a complete romantic" and that this recording has become a classic of the catalogue. When it was made in 1976, Previn had spent the best part of a decade as Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. With their combination of show business flair and deep sensitivity, he and the LSO's players proved to be the ideal team for Tchaikovskys glorious ballet music
