Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] Seiji Ozawa, who served as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly 30 years from 1973 to 2002, brought a golden age to the orchestra and left behind numerous masterpieces. Tchaikovsky was a composer that Seiji Ozawa particularly excelled at, and in this recording of "Swan Lake," he brilliantly embodies Tchaikovsky's magnificent orchestration while making full use of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's colorful sound.
