 Swans in Philadelphia??? May 1, 2009
John Fitzgerald (San Francisco, CA United States)
Recipe for success:
take one of the most gorgeous ballet scores ever written,
add the velvet-like strings of the Philadelphia Orchestra
and WOW! -- a wonderful, lovely, hard-to-resist version of
this classic. I never get tired of this music! One splendid
tune and dance after another! If you don't already have a
recording, this one is not only a great bargain, but a great deal!

"Swan Lake" has great meaning for me. I used to rent LPs and would play them in the basement of Fine Arts on the University of Georgia campus. This was in the '50s. There is nothing as soothing as "Swan Lake."
Ravel Bolero October 3, 2007

Superb concept--ten version of Bolero by ten groups one after the other. Four symphonic orchestras mingled with six others all coming on withy the same powerful insistence of the composition. Excellent, exciting.

The Philadelphia Orchestra did such a splendid job with this Tchaikovsky classic. There are very few COMPLETE ballets around here and I am glad I purchased this.
Great rendition, minor flaws July 10, 2007
Brendan Baartman (Vancouver, BC)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I quite thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of Swan Lake. I've listened to one other version by Dutoit before this one, and I have to say that Sawallisch's version is, on the whole, much better. The major difference is that I didn't get bored by the third act; Sawallisch managed to make it interesting but picking up some of the tempos.
Some complaints: the orchestra doesn't get as loud and triumphant as I'd like it in parts, the violin solo in No.12-V: Pas D'action isn't the best, and I can't really hear the tam-tam in the last track. Besides that, everything is superb.
One final note: The CD does actually contain the Black Swan Pas de Deux, but as Tchaikovsky originally wrote it. If you read the sleeve, it says under No.5 (tracks 11 to 14), "Four short formal dances for the Prince and a ballerina. They became known as the 'Black Swan' pas de deux after Petipa's production transposed it to Act 3." Apparently, about 20 years after the original Swan Lake (and a few years after Tchaikovsky's death) some guy called Riccardo Drigo made drastic changes to Tchaikovsky's original score. One of the changes he made was the aforementioned Black Swan Pas de Deux, deleting parts and adding his own orchestrations. In my opinion, I'd rather listen to Tchaikovsky's original music as he intended rather than some unknown's variations. Thankfully, Sawallisch had the Philadelphia Orchestra play the complete, original Swan Lake as Tchaikovsky composed it.
