Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake (Act II, No. 10)

Swan Lake, Op. 20, is a ballet composed by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875–76. Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular ballets of all time.

I'm unaware of the story of the Swan but this song conveys an aura of magic and darkness so perfectly it's no wonder this piece has been used so frequently in cinema

This piece gives me the goose bumps every time I listen to it, nothing comes close to it

I had a music box as a child, that played a beautifully haunting tune. I'm only now getting to know the name of it.

I remember when he dropped this album. Good times, some real bangers.

1877: This song is amazing!
2022: This song is still amazing!
3000: This song is Eternal!

Seeing this performed by a live orchestra at a ballet is one of the most incredible experiences... so much emotion and passion poured into this piece.

I’ve had this stuck in my head for the better part of a year. Accidentally played it on guitar one day and thought, “Why is that so familiar?” Then an ad for a live rendition of Tchaikovsky’s music came on the radio and I heard it. A few YouTube searches later and I finally can put a name to the tune.

Tchaikovsky is a great composer. And to conceive that he did not like most of his works!

[VforVanish]

One of the best classical pieces i´ve ever heard

[LoveIndigo]

Probably my most favourite piece of classical music EVER. It always gives me goosebumps I love how this is in the final scene of Billy Elliot, very fitting.

At 1:35 you can hear where the Batman theme (from the Tim Burton movies) came from, probably a reference to Bela Lugosi's Dracula.

I'm glad I found this peice. I can't get that tune out of my head.

[Shinobu_kochoooo]

I don't get why people don't like classical music because it sounds so f*cking good

[JulianFRojas-wcrz]

This is the pure and melancholic Russian soul! Спасибо Пётр Ильич.

Who's here in 2024?! Classics will forever be a bomb I'm afraid 😭😭🔥🔥🔥

[shirs]

This is so amazing!! Can't get it out of my head!!!!

[alexanderbourov]

My favorite to listen to as a child and now. Put it on loop. Cannot listen to it on nothing but the highest volume my system or ears can handle. The power. The musical brilliance! The epiphany of romanticism in classical music and probably the best example of piece of musical art ever! Few come close.

00:54 and 02:24 feel creeps on my mind

[bjarnehey]

I finally found out the name of this piece. After so many years...
