Product Description
The walls of the great Russian Kirov theater resonate with the sights and sounds 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 from the genius of Tchaikovsky.
