Ballet - Naxos

1 BalletThe Sound ofThe Sound of BalletThis Naxos segment catalogue contains a wealth of music from the world of Ballet , from the genre s inception right through to its contemporary forms. This rich resource has its roots in the Italian Renaissance and 17th century French theatre, but Ballet in the form we generally know it today emerged during the Romantic era developments of the 19th century. With Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky showed how the master of symphonic writing was able to apply some of his finest expressions to the stage, helping to establish the robust tradition of Russian Ballet that continues today.

2 The Parisian scene at the time similarly flourished with celebrated works such as Adolphe Adam s Giselle and L o Delibes Copp lia. Paris was never to be the same, however, following the arrival of Serge Diaghilev s Ballets Russes. It was Diaghilev who commissioned Maurice Ravel s Daphnis et Chlo , for example, and collaborated with Igor Stravinsky, the composer who revolutionised 20th-century music with his score for The Rite of afterwards, Darius Milhaud s La cr ation du monde brought jazz influences to Paris from the United States, and the harsh realities of 1920s moral corruption in Eastern Europe resulted in B la Bart k s banned pantomime Ballet The Miraculous Mandarin.

3 The frontier narratives of America found voice in works such as Aaron Copland s Appalachian Spring, Rodeo and Billy the Kid, while the life of the country s bustling cities became projected in Leonard Bernstein s Fancy Free. Elsewhere, the influence of the Ballets Russes continued to resonate in works such as Prokofiev s Romeo and Juliet, Dmitri Shostakovich s The Golden Age and Sir Arthur Bliss Adam an overview barely scratches the surface of the extent to which Ballet music is represented on the Naxos label. Renowned scores can be found alongside new discoveries, all performed to world class standards, and all capable of bringing the excitement and atmosphere of the stage into your music MUSIC3 ADAM, Adolphe (1803-1856)Giselle (Complete Ballet ) [2 CDs]Slovak RSO / Andrew MogreliaADAM, Adolphe (1803-1856)Giselle (Highlights)Slovak RSO / Andrew MogreliaBART K, B la (1881-1945)The Miraculous Mandarin (Complete) (+Concerto for Orchestra)Seattle Symphony Chorale / Seattle SO / Gerard SchwarzBART K, B la (1881-1945)The Miraculous Mandarin (Complete Ballet )
