Il lago dei cigni è uno dei più famosi e acclamati balletti del XIX secolo, musicato da Pëtr Il'ič Čajkovskij (op. 20). La prima rappresentazione ebbe luogo al Teatro Bolshoi di Mosca il 20 febbraio 1877 (calendario giuliano), con la coreografia di Julius Wenzel Reisinger.
Il libretto di Vladimir Petrovic Begičev, direttore dei teatri imperiali di Mosca insieme al ballerino Vasil Fedorovič Geltzer, è basato su un'antica fiaba tedesca, Der geraubte Schleier (Il velo rubato), seguendo il racconto di Jophann Karl August Musäus.
Primo dei tre balletti di Čajkovskij, fu composto tra il 1875 e il 1876. Viene rappresentato in quattro atti e quattro scene (soprattutto fuori dalla Russia e nell'Europa Orientale) o in tre atti e quattro scene (in Russia e Europa occidentale). Sebbene esistano molte versioni diverse del balletto, la maggior parte delle compagnie di danza basa l'allestimento, sia dal punto di vista coreografico che musicale, sul revival di Marius Petipa e Lev Ivanov per il Balletto Imperiale, presentato la prima volta il 15 gennaio 1895 (data come sopra) al Teatro Imperiale Mariinskij a San Pietroburgo, Russia.

Beethoven's fifth symphony is regarded as one of the most renowned symphonies in the entirety of classical music. Its consistently recurring and exceedingly iconic introductory tune, allows it to link the symphony's four movements together into the innovative, complex and emotionally arousing piece that it is universally acclaimed for. It is the perfect classical track to indulge into at any deserving moment.

The Chopin nocturnes constitute 21 short pieces for solo piano written by Frédéric Chopin between 1827 and 1846. They are generally considered among the finest short solo works for the instrument and hold an important place in contemporary concert repertoire.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a. III. Waltz of the Flowers

Swan Lake is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875–76. Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular of all ballets.
The scenario, in two acts, was fashioned from Russian and German folk tales[a] and tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger (Václav Reisinger). The ballet was premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet on 4 March 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Although it is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the 1895 revival of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, first staged for the Imperial Ballet on 15 January 1895, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. For this revival, Tchaikovsky's score was revised by the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre's chief conductor and composer Riccardo Drigo

This recording  was part of my very first studio production. I labeled it "affettuoso assai" and made copies on CompactCassettes, each one by hand !  During the following years I managed to sell 500 pieces during my first gigs and concerts and was enormously proud of it.

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 2 in B major, Op. 14 and subtitled To October, for the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. After the premiere, Shostakovich made some revisions to the score, and this final version was first played in Moscow later in 1927 under the baton of Konstantin Saradzhev. It was also the first time any version of the work had been played in Moscow.
