Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake
After seeing "Black Swan", a phenomenal movie that you should go see, I decided to upload Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", performed here by the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. Enjoy!

Sarah Vaughan
Sarah Vaughan's self-titled first album is a gem, showcasing her divine sense of vocal cadence, exploitation of tone colors, and that unmistakable smoky voice of hers.

Lehar: The Merry Widow
Let's get back on track, shall we? Here's a find: the Grammy-winning album of excerpts from Lehar's "The Merry Widow" with Beverly Sills in the title role. Julius Rudel conducts the New York City Opera Orchestra and chorus. The English translation is by Sheldon Harnick of "Fiddler on the Roof " fame. A shame this is out of print!
