[TheJenBong]

Am I the only sitting here with goosebumps? This is beyond perfection.

[TheNewFlutist]

This is absolutely lovely.

[CressidaTussaud]

@hpnatalie you're not alone

[Sofalikesfrogs]

i can imagine im the white swan!!!!!!

[makeupfanpire]

ballet, all i can say is THANK YOU! <3

[hpnatalie]

I'm kind of ashamed to say that the reason why I love classical music is because when I was little I used to watch the barbie movies and fell in love with the music, but I guess it's a good thing because it brought me here.

[Icreachusalad]

What year is this, and who's the concertmaster (for the violin solo)?

[rarn2011]

such a difficult violin part in some places, amazing, Tchaikovsky - absolute genius

[FriendlyCroock]

very bad interpretation 

[mrmonkur]

@FriendlyCroock If this is bad then please link me to the one you think is good, it must be godly

[Darkmindenz]

Please ''track name'' 3:50 ????? What name this piece ??

[maxamerimyckx]

so sad, so beautiful

[MrDevanovic]

Excuse me, *as faithful as they let on

[MrDevanovic]

Also, @ PauleQueenie. Just checked the Wiki; there a lot more 'divorces', so to speak, between swans than previously thought; so they're not quite as faithful than they let on. And come on, they're essentially big white ducks, any air of grace comes mostly from their build than some sort of pre-destined ability for charm. To push human traits on animals (untamed animals, no less) is just ridiculous.

[MrDevanovic]

@ ForForm, Don't worry, most of them are bullshitting. If you boil down most of it, the comments are basically "The music is about swans.I like swans; they're awesome." or "Oh my God. This music evokes emotion." You miss most of the story without the ballet dancers and the little pamphlets they give out before the performance. So again, don't worry about it. See the ballet if you can, it adds a lot to the piece(es).

[ForForm]

Ok... so they usually say classical music and ballet is for the people with class... I thought that was untrue, but here I am as a regular guy between hundreds of people speaking like they are a famous composer themself or are at least a well respected critic <.<

[robaly123456789]

this piece of music makes me think, cry, and sometime laugh out loud! it invokes such a flurry of emotions that i cant begin to comprehend them in full detail, i suppose given the circumstances all you can do is go with it and get lost in the moment!

[OberonZg]

I don't like tempos...

[tinkerbellrox1011]

any1 who doesn't know this is friggin crazy....it's 1 of the pieces that IDENTIFIES swan lake. :)

[xamaranto]

Beautiful

[LPUchihaGirl]

I died ... In a beutiful kind of way 

[Malon4Ever]

4 people are just barbarians

[bonndiablo]

I love the violin part from the 2:00 area till the end.

[majoblue2]

the music in which odette transforms back into a human, prince sigfried discover her and their romantic love begins

[liliszimaah]

:3 mee encantaaa! <3

[mungmungii10]

Makes me want to cry.... Its so beautful~!

[PauleQueenie]

The melancholy of nuances one can hear yet not practice them in one's life. As if the nuances were the people going about their lives, not wishing or not caring enough to be serious about life in general and their lives. The expression of nature

[javilack]

@Paule What are you talking about, you are surely not a genious so why trying to show up with your nonsense

[PauleQueenie]

javilack why demostrate my comment with your acting up comment? I know the words I write and there is no need for you to interpret them again.

Good day to you

[FlyingGold]

@PauleQueenie yes education.. hhmmm

[PauleQueenie]

@FlyingGold, educate the educated for they have not understood the blank page at the end of the books, trying to translate purity into vagrant nonsense to their liking. Education has NO reason and the educated have NO reason to be proud of their twists either. There will always be music...

[CamillTheMushroom]

@javilack Really????

[TheDavid2222]

@PauleQueenie deep comment I love it! It's complete and total passion , nothing mundane. totally aesthetic , unlike most of our lives. lol

[PauleQueenie]

@TheDavid2222, the mundanity of swans is in their uneducated grace. Their aesthetic is in the untaught mundanity of their lives, however simple, they seem so much like humans and unlike them because of their faithfullness towards each other. If the music was to carry you like the water let the swans float you too would live a life of mundanity and aesthetic without being taught, then you would think of life as the most simple gift of untaught genius and would wish to live FREE as they do.

[XDuudaX]

superbe !*-*

Amo Tchaikovsky <3

[Golososconhambre]

with this song you can feel the love between the characters its awsome!! :D

[sexymotherpucker45]

its okay? This is an amazing work of music ! x

[agent9149]

its okay.... this is awesomeness to the awesomeness power of the awesomeness decibel system

[schemes16]

not one of my favorite performances

however the piece itself one of the most despairing and beautiful pieces of all time, imo

you can actually hear the sorrow of forbidden love

[maxi36440529]

what does 'imo' mean?

xD

[azugirl111]

In my opinion

[maxi36440529]

great

now i know the meaning of IMO and OMG XD

thank u ;D

[azugirl111]

no problemo, haha.

[ada0064]

@schemes16 Which one is your favourite?

[PauleQueenie]

@schemes16 Romeo and Juliet is not of nowadays musical them anymore. And I thought this particular scene was more about nuances as I wrote in my previous comment.

[plushlush]

@schemes16 Not forbidden love. Unrequited love.

[tHEnOOSEsWINGS]

Hearing the melodious harp at the start and the violins are so sweet and so full of detail and nostalgia offering a very welcoming score with full impetus to detail and to discovery.

[Seanus32]

@tHEnOOSEsWINGS That's what I like about classical commentators, they rise above the deficiencies of pop commentary and encapsulate the emotional aspect much closer.
