- rec. July 20, 1933, London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by John Barbirolli. Antonio Brosa, solo violin in second "Scene"
From Ballet Suite "The Swan Lake" op. 20a:
1. Scene - 3. Dance of the Little Swans - 2. Waltz - 4. Scene - 5. Hungarian Dance (Czardas)
Note that the numbers refer to the ordering in the most popular ballet suite, published by P. Jurgenson posthumously (in 1900). No suite was prepared by the composer in his lifetime. The selections are ordered as they appeared on the original discs.

the separation of the oboe solo is so beautiful it’s perfectly separate from the rest of the piece but it doesn’t stand out offensively it’s nothing like you would see in more recent recordings….this is a perfect recording :))
One of if not the clearest voicing in all conductors I have heard.
I've always thought the Swan Lake soundtrack was haunting but this takes it to a whole new level! Both musically and by how much it scares me. I love Tchaikovsky
Precious. Unsurpassed. I love it!
My favorite rendition of Tchaikovsky's swan lake suite.
This beautiful one i owned for my grammophone
Incredible recording
It is Leon Goossens who is responsible for the freely-phrased oboe solo heard at the beginnig here. - John Austin, Australia
I love it. Perhaps it's more period accurate than the by-the-grid playing of today? Who can say? All I know is that I like what I hear and I really like the slowing of the tempo when the brass comes in after the oboe solo.
@@kylej.whitehead-music309 This is very common in older recordings - just check out Judy Garland's Over the Rainbow. I think boneheadedly bashing everything into a straight grid (or insecurely clinging to it perhaps?) is sapping many a performance of its full potential nowadays, and not only in classical music
You find the same freedom in old recordings of opera and art song as well. I far prefer it. The phrases are shaped as phrases and make much more sense and are more dynamic.
Also mentioned by "Early Music Sources" ( czcams.com/video/qFPW9ENtNKA/video.html ) to highlight just how different the performance practice of performers born in the late 19th-Century was from what we usually think of.
This recording is, in fact, absolutely wonderful: humongous, syrupy, sluggish? The exact contrary, much more enjoyable indeed to the "modern" ear than a lot of more recent performances. By sweeping the dust of nowadays' prejudice, you can almost discover a new Piece.
Thank you very much dear, I had seen that video 3 years ago, but not being an English speaker I had lost it.That's why I found this version. I had been looking for him for two years. Thank you very much, God bless you.
Anyone know who the incredible violin soloist is?.. sounds like Heifetz
The sound of lo-fi orchestra is strangely beautiful, even though at the time I'm sure they only lamented how terrible this sounded compared to a live performance.
Il apreciez enorm pe Barbirolli, dar Filarmonica din Londra este o orchestra mediocra!! Suflatorii din metal nu pot sa interpreteze aceasta superba lucrare!! Concert-maesrtul se crede intro romanta plangacioasa!!
Sorry, but what is the language you have written? Romanian? I liked it :)
it looks like romanian
