The new Classical Recording of the Week is a collection of ballet suites by Tchaikovsky, featuring Herbert Von Karajan & The Vienna Philharmonic

Tchaikovsky's most beloved ballet music - Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker Suites are collected here for over an hour of wonderful listening. Recorded on Decca by Herbert Von Kajaran and the Vienna Philharmonic, it combines Tchaikovsky's gift for melody with the sparkling orchestration and sense of theatrical magic that Karajan brings to his performances.
