A Swan Lake of reference
There are certain recordings of Swan Lake that will endure the test of time because of near-flawless dancing plus modestly innovative choreographic and staging touches. This is one of those DVDs. The only reason I have rated it four rather than five stars is the less-than-perfect sound recording. The violin solo in the second national dance can barely be heard unless you crank up the volume. The conducting, though, is top-notch. Enjoy.
