《柴科夫斯基芭蕾组曲：天鹅湖 睡美人 胡桃夹子》在所有的芭蕾舞音乐中，柴可夫斯基的也许是最受世人爱戴的。从浪漫的《天鹅湖》、奇妙的《睡美人》到轻松愉快的《胡桃夹子》都大受欢迎。

整体而言，柴可夫斯基在戏剧音乐方面的天分及敏锐度，超过了他的交响曲。自从他十岁时观赏了格林卡（Glinka）创作的《为沙皇效命》之后，就对音乐戏剧留下深刻印象，并开始热爱戏剧。当他从事作曲时，戏剧就成为他至高无上的抱负。

当时为俄罗斯皇家剧院谱曲的作家中，只有柴可夫斯基认为芭蕾舞具有很大的音乐想像空间，并在他的创作中大量运用了舞蹈音乐。他从不赞赏当时那些芭蕾舞作曲家只写一些轻柔的曲调来点缀舞蹈。当有人责备他的《第四交响曲》中有芭蕾音乐格调时，柴可夫斯基不以为然地说：“我实在不懂为何芭蕾音乐会招致这种责难，它是多么美好的东西啊！”

The Piano Guys have become a YouTube sensation with their clever and inspiring takes on popular music and creative videos that accompany them. From Beethoven to Adele, their eclectic mix of classical, film score, rock, and pop favorites resonate with audiences across generations and from all walks of life. Their debut album on Sony Masterworks includes songs featured in their hit videos, including their latest viral smash, a distinctive take on One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful."

For many years Jon Schmidt (pianist) and Steven Sharp Nelson (cellist) had their separate music careers – each with their own countless stage performances and multiple Billboard-charting albums. Over the past few years it’s been difficult to find them apart, due the demand of audiences worldwide to see them together. Their musical chemistry, stage-spontaneity, and collaborative arrangements are incomparable. For the first time ever they have created a full-length, joint album—comprised of all their big hits on YouTube released in the first six months of joining “The Piano Guys.” Jon and Steve have created a new genre of music – piano and cello music, but like you’ve never heard them before—from the innovative classical/hip-hop Michael Meets Mozart to the beautifully-emotive Bring Him Home; cool covers that reinvent artists such as Adele and David Guetta; and fresh classical remakes that pay an edgy tribute to the greatest composers, such as Bach and Beethoven. Call it what you will, this music is most often described not by placing it in a “category” of music, but rather simply with one adjective. Inspiring. Gifted cellist Steven Sharp Nelson has thrilled audiences with his passionate playing and appeared on more than a dozen award winning cds. In his solo debut, Steven Sharp Nelson presents a powerful collection of memorable pieces tenderly arranged for cello. Also, featuring timeless performances with Jon Schmidt, Peter Breinholt, David Tolk, Marshall McDonald, and Paul Cardall. Songs include: Unaccompanied Cello Suite No 1 in G Major: Prelude, Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, All Creatures of Our God and King, and many others.
