Reviews
"The Royal Swedish Ballet's Swan Lake, recorded on 24 May 2002, is elegant and sumptuous, inventively choroeographed and beautifully staged by Sir Peter Wright and Galina Samsova, with particularly splendid sets and costumes." (The Penguin Guide)
"... outstandingly performed under Michel Quevals baton and thats just the start...staging, choreography and dancing (by both corps de ballet and soloists) are all excellent yet another superb Opus Arte release." (Classic FM)
