Classical ballet in sound form
The score of Tchaikovsky’s great ballets arrives here as a tangible object, its multi-hued cover hinting at the vivid drama within. It sits comfortably on a shelf or beside a turntable, ready to transform a quiet afternoon into an evening of grace.
This compilation pairs the ethereal Swan Lake with the festive energy of The Nutcracker, performed by Halasz and Lenard. It suits those who appreciate the structural beauty of orchestral writing and the narrative power of dance music.

REPERTOIRE
Two iconic ballet scores united
The disc brings together two of Tchaikovsky’s most celebrated works for the stage. Swan Lake offers a journey through romantic tension and tragic beauty, while The Nutcracker provides a shift towards whimsy and celebratory rhythm. Owning both in one volume allows for a complete immersion in the composer’s approach to dramatic storytelling.
PERFORMANCE
Halasz and Lenard lead the orchestra
Under the direction of Halasz and Lenard, the recordings capture the full scope of the orchestral palette. From the delicate strings that underscore the swans’ movements to the bold brass fanfares of the toy shop, the performance highlights the contrast between tenderness and grandeur inherent in these pieces.
