The Royal Ballet - The Frederick Ashton Collection, Vol. 2

Darcey Bussell and Roberto Bolle star in Frederick Ashton�s Sylvia, restored to the splendour of its elegant, opulent three-act form and featuring the choreographer�s darkly comic characterisations. By contrast La fille mal gard�e, starring Marianela Nu�ez and Carlos Acosta, has been treasured as one of Ashton�s happiest creations � his artistic tribute to nature and his beloved Suffolk countryside. The Tales of Beatrix Potter bring the famous stories of the English writer and illustrator to life in a warm and witty work for all ages. Swept up in the ballet�s childlike exuberance, the entire cast delivers outstanding portrayals of such colourful figures as Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mr Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit. Recorded in true Surround Sound.
