About
The latest release in the Ballet Russe series featuring two of the most famous scores ever commissioned for dance in the 20th century. Also on this release is Florent Schmitt’s sadly neglected “Tragedie de Salome” with its fusion of Rimsky-Korsakov’s exoticism and the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel.
