About "Swan Lake Suite, Op. 20a : Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake Suite, Op. 20a: V. Czardas. Danse hongroise" by Berliner Philharmoniker

The Czardas erupts with folk-fire—violins snapping, brass blaring, a Hungarian dance that stomps and spins. Karajan's Berliners attack with disciplined abandon, the suite's polite ballet frame suddenly cracking open into something wilder. Exhilaration and menace twinned, the ballroom floor buckling underfoot.
