Music written for ballets produces some of the world’s greatest compositions yet it can be underestimated as a genre. This programme is dedicated to that style of composing where the changing storyline has to be reflected by the musical score and where, traditionally, showcase pieces for certain dancers had to be included. If a good tune and occasional quirky pieces of music are your thing, then you are in for a treat.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by London Symphony Orchestra/Anatole Fistoulari, Cleveland Orchestra/George Szell, City of Birmingham Orchestra/Sir Simon Rattle, Metropolitan opera orchestra/James Levine, Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy and more.
