Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra are featured in Swan Lake and the Nutcracker in recordings made in 1978 and 1990, and Mikhail Pletnev leads the Russian National Orchestra in The Sleeping Beauty, recorded in 1997. The Boston Symphony is in top-notch form and the players deliver a precise and polished reading of the two ballets.
