Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky Swan Lake & Nutcracker Balett Suites @flac

Evgeni Svetlanov

The USSR People's Artist, Lenin prize winning conductor Evgeni Svetlanov (1928-2002) was educated at the Gnessin Pedagogical Institute of Music, then at the Moscow Conservatory both in the class of composition (under Professor Yu. Shaporin) and conducting (under Professor A. Gauk).
Svetlanov worked with the USSR Radio Symphony Orchestra, later took over the USSR Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra and since 1965 has been Chief Conductor of the USSR Symphony Orchestra.Under his direction, the USSR Symphony Orchestra became one of Russia’s finest ensembles, and is particularly notable for its traditional Slavic sound.
Svetlanov recorded widely, and his interpretations are prized for their color and vitality.
With Russian classics as the focus of his attention (his repertoire is made up entirely of Russian music), Svetlanov constantly tackles works of different styles.
Evgeni Svetlanov is well known all over the world.

Swan Lake Balett

Swan Lake was Tchaikovsky’s first ballet, commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and premiered in March of 1877. Although wildly popular today, Swan Lake was very coolly received at first, partly because the performance was poorly choreographed and performed. It was not until the great choreographer Marius Petipa revived Swan Lake in 1895, two years after the composer’s death, that the ballet achieved the success it deserved, and it has been a central part of the repertoire ever since.

The Nutcracker Balett

The Nutcracker was Tchaikovsky’s third ballet and last completed stage work. The scenario was based on a fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann and meticulously reworked by Petipa, who co-choreographed the premiere production in December of 1892. Again, the initial reception was cool, but it wasn’t long before The Nutcracker joined Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty as repertory staples.
