Piotr Ilici Ceaikovski (1840–1893) se numără printre cei mai importanți compozitori de muzică clasică, iar opera sa de balet rămâne și astăzi o prezență vie pe scenele lumii. Lacul lebedelor (Swan Lake) din 1875–76 este primul său balet major și una dintre cele mai cunoscute opere de balet.
Această ediție pe vinil prezintă înregistrarea completă a baletului Swan Lake (Labutí jezero), op. 20, în interpretarea London Symphony Orchestra sub bagheta lui André Previn. Înregistrarea cuprinde toate cele patru acte cu dansurile caracteristice — Valse, Pas de trois, Pas de deux, Danses des cygnes (Dansul lebedelor mici), Danse des coupes și muzica dramatică din Introduction și Finale. André Previn, dirijor și compozitor britanic-american, s-a numărat printre interpreții de frunte ai literaturii simfonice și operistice din a doua jumătate a secolului XX.
