Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Naxos have found an excellent way of bringing these ballet scores to a new audience, and have produced an ideal stocking-filler into the bargain. The highlights from these two popular ballet suites have been chosen, and each number prefaced with an entertaining chunk of narration. The tales are told simply and straightforwardly, with Brian Cant wisely underplaying the panto elements in the two stories. His avuncular, warm voice is ideal for the material and the dramatic switches between the narration and music are handled very well. The only minor quibble is in the difference in acoustic between the orchestral sound and the spoken--but it is not overly worrying. The two orchestras both produce crisp and energetic accounts of the suites. Mogrelia avoids any hint of sentimentality in the Tchaikovsky with quick tempi and clear, detached string playing and Kuchar draws some impressive effects from the Ukranian orchestra in Cinderella, especially in the famous "midnight strikes" sequence. This is a must for music-loving children, and young-at-heart adults alike. --Warwick Thompson

The music on this CD is fabulaous and the story read by Brian Cant is done so well. It helps to wind her down ready for bedtime. I thoroughly recommend this CD to anyone with a daughter!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to ballet music for a small child, 26 Mar 2001
By A Customer
We bought this cd to prepare my daughter for a trip to the ballet to see Sleeping Beauty and it is perfect for the purpose. The length of the extracts is long enough to get a good feel for the music without being so long that a child looses track of the narration. The performance is good (as far as I can tell) and my daughter loves it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - ballet music for the young, 18 Nov 2002
By Steve Trumpet (Beds UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is an excellent CD to introduce young children to classical music generally , and ballet music in particular. If you are thinking of taking young children to see either of these ballets, then get this CD first and Brian Cant will tell the stories, and the orchestra will play the main themes.
Higly recomended and at a good low price.
