Happy Birthday, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. 179 years later, you are still loved!

To think I never realised that all of this music was used in Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty - my favourite childhood film of all time. Incredible...no wonder the music was so magical and beyond anything in any other Disney movie.

[tancreddehauteville]

Tchaikovsky was a man who, through his music, was able to open the gates of Heaven, ever so slightly, and let us peek inside. Very few other artists or composers have been able to do this.

[JessyLarvi-dtcm]

That was magical and eternal.Before I go to sleep I listen to it and
All my problems find a solution.Meditation on classical music is the best.

[chloepresley]

1:52:21 - my favourite part. When Aurora is walking through the fireplace and up the spiral staircase in the eerie green light. She's in a daze and an almost hypnotic state. So mysterious, so jarring, so gothic and dark...No wonder it is my favourite part.

[milesmontemore]

Thanks for this recording, which has always been a collector's favourite. Stravinsky, who never gave out compliments, especially to other composers, said that " The Sleeping Beauty " was Tchaikovsky's greatest achievement.

[robertallkin]

Tchaikovsky was a brilliant painter of an orchestra, (orchestrator) and had a wonderful gift of writing the most beautiful melodies you can hum to.

[dariaplotkina]

This ballet is the best music ever written by a human being. Has been in my heart since I was a little girl and no other composition I heard in my life has taken its place 💔

[kendrawaters]

10:08 Unpopular opinion: I like this waltz better than the more famous Sleeping Beauty waltz.

[Dylonely_]

One of the greatest pieces of music Tchaïkovski ever composed.

[nozar]

Absolutely beautiful. Also, no commercials in the middle. Thanks Cantus 5.

[loaf]

being part of a pit orchestra for the entirety of the musical was probably one of the best and most stressful performances I have ever done, much more stressful but fun playing in the pit rather than the stage because you have to sync up with the dancers.

[lisabishopdavisson]

My favorite ballet to dance. The music is fabulous and very beautiful. The sleeping Beauty has been a theme in my life since I was 10 years old. 💖 It is the very best most exhilarating music! Everyone enjoy and relax! Have a goodnight! ❤❤🧡🧡💛

[cassianodurandpinheiro]

1:27:46 Entr'acte . One of the most beautiful violin pieces written by Tchaikovsky.
2:14:30 Sarabande has the neoclassical elegance. 1:24:52 Panorama is a journey to heaven.
