<p style="text-align: justify;">
The repertoire of any ballet company always has three perfor-<br>
mances penned by the same author – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.<br>
These are Swan Lake (1877), The Sleeping Beauty (1889) and<br>
The Nutcracker (1892). If now these works are not only known<br>
to the whole world but have become a tradition, in Tchaikovsky’s<br>
time they opened a new era of the Russian ballet. Tchaikovsky<br>
was one of the first Russian composers who turned to the genre<br>
of ballet adding a self-reliant artistic value to the music.<br>
The Firma Melodiya programme titled “P.I. Tchaikovsky – Ballets”<br>
features the music by the greatest Russian composer performed<br>
by the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra lead by<br>
the prominent conductor of modern time Evgeny Svetlanov.<br>
The wealth of Tchaikovsky’s scores performed by the celebrated<br>
orchestra allows the listeners to get immersed in the magical<br>
world of the characters of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and<br>
The Nutcracker, literally visualizing it.
