Tchaikovsky Swan Lake (Complete Ballet) (André Previn, The London Symphony Orchestra, Ida Haendel ) ( 180g vinyl 3LP )

Release date 12-11-2017 (orginally release in 1976)

2017 reissue on HQ vinyl 3LP -This is one of the classical music album 'Tchaikovsky: 3 ballets' by André Previn. Tchaikovsky's three beautiful ballet scores are also three of his greatest masterpieces. They are as remarkable for their emotional content as they are for the magnificence of the melodies and orchestration. André Previn, who describes himself as 'a complete romantic', became conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1968. He remained in that role for a whopping 11 years – a sort of golden age – and became conductor emirate in 2016. A great gift for ballet music lovers.
