Sunday morning music

 

Here's an old favorite.  Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake has become a staple of the concert and ballet repertoire, and is probably one of the most often performed pieces in its genre.  Many have produced what they claim to be "Swan Lake Suites", but there are plenty of variations between them, and I'm not sure whether anyone's ever agreed to a standard, definitive "suite" of pieces from the ballet.  Be that as it may, I'll listen to them all.

Here's the Swan Lake Suite from the Third Polish Nationwide Music Schools' Symphonic Orchestras Competition - a long title, but it attracts the best young musicians in Poland to perform for and compete with each other.  The conductor is Sylwia Janiak-Kobylińska.  The piece was recorded in 2015.

I suppose it might be a bit provocative to play that music while duck hunting season is approaching . . .
