Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake is a fairy tale made flesh: tender and violent, ethereal and primal. Thanks to Tchaikovsky’s music, you can watch the enchanted swans glide across the moon-dappled lake of your mind, no ballerinas needed. Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony inhabits a mood of exquisite longing. He called it “the best thing I ever composed or shall compose.”
