Ballet - Swan Lake (THEME)

[casismallville]

Is this "Perfection" from Black Swan soundtrack?

[JackieBorelli]

an ice cream truck just drove by, playing this, haha! so random. that's the first time I haven't heard only children's songs playing.

[alabhaois]

Why is there always some smartass who prides himself on giving negative reviews--to one of the most respected composers in classical music? It certainly brands the so-called "critic" as a real boor.

[mryoshifreak]

I think of Dracula everytime I hear this masterpiece.

[ArcticPoppy]

@mryoshifreak Dracula has his own masterpiece.. Search for Bach's Toccata and Fugue :)

[okayDenisse]

ah! i am going to be doing a solo for this on flute, it's really beautiful. gonna go to the solo enseble competition thing.

[RonnieHopeCyrus]

i <3 it so much :)

This song pure my heart

[DarkStar13337]

seriously no one can beat Tchaikovsky

[invaderrekon]

that is the oddest sounding oboe ever

[coreliandude76]

Natalie Portman for best actress and Black Swan for best picture this year at the Oscars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, make it happen.

[MegaOrwell1984]

@coreliandude76 The good news Natalie won Best Actress, the bad news The black swan lost to the kings speech. I'm sorry :(

[KillJoyRD]

REAL MEN dance ballet.

[gggrrrnonamesleft]

[harypotterMANIAC]

Classical music takes you to a whole new world. It takes you from the troubles and the sorrow in your life. All the pain and tears. It makes me wish I was there.

[animegirl72837]

This is my fav Ballat

[aseretkavon]

Is that an Oboe or English Horn (Cor Anglais) carrying the tune in the beginning? It's either high for an English Horn or low for an Oboe. I can't tell beyond that, unfortunately. A hunch tells me that it might be English Horn, but all I know for sure is it's a med-high double-reed sound.

[SMSProductions1]

@aseretkavon Don't quote me but, it sounds like an English horn. 

[moldypanda]

@aseretkavon it's an oboe ^^

[YupItsMeKali]

@aseretkavon I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that's an oboe

[ItaliaKat44]

How can one not be entranced/impressed?

[SharpWMusic]

I get goosebumbs when the horns come in.

[MrDirector]

Most beautiful piece of music ever composed.

[baryldrummer]

This has to be my favorite theatrical song. It has a sort of gentle, sad power to it if that makes any sense. lol

[nJjJkJfan]

im so glad i can play this on the piano =) still, its not as gr8 as this...

[samtyn]

no word is capable to describe Greatness and splendor of this song.

[jeremypr]

this song is absolutely beautiful - i'm so sad i didn't play this song on my ipod - .....not now ;)

[SakuraChan245]

great! the pics match the song <3

[SakuraChan245]

luv the song + slideshow. good job!

[ContraversialPro]

it reminds so much of Bella Lugosi due to the ed wood film and this was also the opening theme to Dracula

[adamantine106]

and The Mummy with Karloff. :P

[caguy562]

It's very Russian/Soviet like....nice

[marcuslager]

One of my favs, only Sibelius can compete with Tchaikovsky

[sspdirect02]

Every time I here this music, I think of Bela Lugosi.

[DreamOn26]

I love this! I'm playing it with my orchestra and I'm the harp part. Definately Tchaikovsky's best.

[Lisztlovers]

Beautiful video!! Congratulations!!

[Shania8461]

Thank you my friend.

Shania

[Aetopus]

Beautiful video Shania. I've often wondered what year ballet was created, by which country, the Italians, French or Russians I would guess. I think I'll research that someday. Thank you for uploading Swan Lake.

[Shania8461]

Thank you .

Maybe this help:)

The beginnings of ballet can be traced to Italy during the 1400's at the time of the Renaissance.

It appeared in France when Louis XIV was in power. He believed that it made the courtiers look more elegant so he made everyone in his court walk on their tiptoes and perform on demand.He also started the world's first ballet school.

[webkinz08100]

@Aetopus Maybe this might help, Ballet is a type of performance dance, that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and which was further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form.

[rosacotton]

Lovely pictures; 1:19, 1:44, and 2:28 were my favorites. 1:33 however is from Les Sylphides, not Swan Lake.

[Shania8461]

Thank you Rosa, I love ballet but i never danced, I'll try to correct
