The halls of the great Russian Kirov theater were home to the sights of thousands of dance performances - Russian ballets performed worldwide that have captured the hearts and imaginations of millions.None are as magical and eternal as Tchaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty," "Swan Lake," and the year-round holiday delight "The Nutcracker."
This volume of the Naxos Musical Journey gives you a front-row seat to the great Kirov for excerpts from the wondrous "Swan Lake" ballet.Join in the pre-performance excitement as you witness the preparation of prima ballerina Tanya Serova.Travel beyond the Kirov and take a tour of astonishing Russian sights.From the great Kremlin and Red Square to the St. Petersburg Ballet School; from the striking and ominous Swallow's Nest Castle perched precariously on a cliff above the Black Sea to the natural beauty of the Persian peacock or the grace of swans gliding across the water's surface.Here is a trip as inspiring as the gliding melodies that whirled form the genius of Tchaikovsky.
