Aram Khachaturian - Sabre Dance[^]

This week, @Ed-Aymami posted his alternative SOTW, Edvard Grieg, and I stuck with the classical theme.
Coincidence has it that I recently created a playlist with all my favorite tracks from the past 15 years or so, and some classical pieces have made it into that list.
For some reason, I always hear the same subset of songs, even though I play the list on shuffle.
One of those songs is Aram Khachaturian's Sabre Dance from his ballet Gayaneh.
Sabre Dance is an awesome piece, it's fast and has lots of percussion.
I can also recommend the entire ballet, which also has lots of percussion (for a classical piece).
Back when I was a kid, like six to nine years old, I had a couple of cassettes with stories and fairy tales.
One of those cassettes had Treasure Island (or in Dutch "Schateiland") on them and this song was the soundtrack, loved that one as a kid.
I can still hear an ominous voice saying "SCHAAAATEILAAAAND" with this song playing in the back Big Grin | :-D
So this is a SOTW that's been 25 years in the making Wink | ;)
