About "Swan Lake Suite, Op. 20a : Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake Suite, Op. 20a: I. Scene "Swan Theme". Moderato" by Berliner Philharmoniker

Tchaikovsky's swan theme floats on a bed of strings, oboe sighing like a lonely bird over dark water. The Berliner Philharmoniker captures the paradox of Swan Lake: serene melody shadowed by melancholy, beauty that knows it is doomed.
