Music from Giselle: Ballet Music

Album by Adolphe Adam & London Symphony Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas

Music from Giselle: Ballet Music is an album of the ballet score by French composer Adolphe Adam, composed for the ballet which premiered in 1841. The music exemplifies Romantic-era ballet writing, featuring lyrical melodies, folk-inflected rhythms and sweeping orchestral passages that underpin the drama and choreography, and it occupies a central place in nineteenth-century ballet repertoire as one of Adam's principal theatrical works.
