Peter and the Wolf / L'Enfant Et Les Sortilèges

Two classic ballets on one disc. First, Matthew Hart's 1997 adaptation of "Peter and The Wolf" features a performance by dancers of the Royal Ballet School, set to a magnificent arrangement by legendary Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. Anthony Dowell stars as the Grandfather in this contemporary production of a classic ballet. And Jiri Kylian's fantasy ballet "L'Enfant Et Les Sortileges" (1986) features music by the French composer Maurice Ravel based on a libretto by Colette. These fundamentally different ballet performances work ultimately in musical harmony, creating an artistically inspiring whole.
