RECORDING INFORMATION

The definitive score of the world's favourite ballet in a brand new studio recording, with Valery Gergiev conducting the work for the first time on CD

The greatest ballet of all in the definitive production by the ballet of the Mariinsky (Kirov) Theatre, St. Petersburg.

Valery Gergiev has never before recorded Tchaikovsky's greatest ballet score. (His recordings of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty have always been best-sellers).

This recording with the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre, who have Tchaikovsky's music in their blood, is certain to become the definitive CD recording of this essential classic.

The rarely recorded 1895 version, including the Black Swan Pas de Deux, as heard in most modern productions.

N.B. The CD performance was recorded separately and is not the soundtrack of the DVD (074 3216).
