Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, with its story of magical transformations, love and deceit and its irresistibly melodic score, defines Romantic ballet. It is no coincidence that conductor André Previn has described himself as “a complete romantic” and that this recording has become a classic of the catalogue. When it was made in 1976, Previn had spent the best part of a decade as Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. With their combination of show business flair and deep sensitivity, he and the LSO’s players proved to be the ideal team for Tchaikovsky’s glorious ballet music.
