What Ballet Music Are You Listening To Now?
OrchestralNut:
Well, here it is folks....... by popular demand, I am certain. ;)
Our own thread dedicated to listening to ballet music!
Similar to the "What Opera Are You Listening..." thread, it seemed appropriate to recognize this music separately.
Happy Listening, Folks! :)
OrchestralNut:
As for me, disc 5 of this marvelous set.
Weber - Invitation to the Dance (orchestrated by Berlioz)
Chopin - Les Sylphides (orchestrated by Roy Douglas)
Strauss family - Bal de Vienne from act II of Die Fledermaus
Luigini - *Ballet Egyptien
National Philharmonic Orchestra
*London Symphony Orchestra
Richard Bonynge
Florestan:
Not today but very recently, Swan Lake from this set.
Believe it or not, it was the first time I ever listened to the whole thing.
As an aside, why is a thread dealing with orchestral, non-vocal music filed under Opera and Vocal? ;D

Looks like a mighty great recording there Andrei.
Well, the Opera and Vocal sub forum is kind of a catch-all for music for the stage or theatre, me thinks. Hence, why ballet music is included in this area.

This is the very question I’ve encountered several times when posting a thread about a Debussy, Ravel, etc. ballet and here’s something to consider: under the ‘Opera and Vocal’ heading on the forum’s homepage, this section is described as the following:
This board is for discussion of all vocal, opera and staged music, including ballet.
