The Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty by Peter Iljitsch Tchaikovsky (1849–1893) is one of the greatest and most iconic ballet music compositions of all time. Tchaikovsky’s score for Sleeping Beauty runs almost three hours, but Kristjan Järvi condensed the ballet into a version lasting around 70 minutes. Kristjan’s thinking when he put together his arrangement is purely musical, which makes the music easy to follow for the listener.
