â€
œBeing Russian born I
have a strong connection
to the ballet scores of
Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev
and Stravinsky, and as a
result in theWild Swans,
more than in any other
work of mine, I allowed
myself the freedom to
roam through 200 years of
musical genres, ranging
from Hungarian Operetta
through folk music and
even including the
influences of jazz and
popular music,â€
says Elena Kats-Chernin.
The full-length work,
which premiered in Sydney
in 2003, was written for
choreographer Meryl
Tankard after the two
artists had already
worked together for the
opening ceremony of the
2000 Olympic Games, and
became one of the
composer's greatest
successes. Many excerpts
in various arrangements
have a concert life of
their own today -
including the
world-renowned Eliza
Aria. Arranged by the
composer in 2004 for
violin and piano after
the original orchestral
version, the half-hour
suite comprises ten
characteristic movements:
Green Leaf Prelude, Eliza
Aria, Brothers, Wicked
Witch (piano solo), Magic
Spell Tango, Glow Worms,
Darkness of the Forest,
Eliza and the Prince,
Mute Princess,
Transformation.
