Review “The Story of Swan Lake was produced in the same tradition as book-on-tapes, using Tchaikovsky’s music to enhance the well-known fairytale.” –Richmond Parent “The Story of Swan Lake is elegantly told with music by the London Philharmonic, conducted by Stephen Simon…” –Audio File “…narrator Yadu and the London Philharmonic Orchestra present the story of Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet with style. The lovely half hour-long track isn’t all there is to this fun, informative CD, though. There’s also a brief history of the composer, a short talk about the music itself, a sing-along original song and most surprisingly, a performance by heavy metal guitarist Joe Stump called Speed Metal Swan.” –Lynne Heffley, Parents’ Choice
