Guest ckdancegirl7 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I have been searching for a cd of the Swan Lake supplementary music that is used for the Balanchine Tchaikovsky pa de deux. Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of this music? I'm planning on doing the pointe variation from the pa de deux for an audition tape along with another variation, but I can't find a copy of the supplementary music...even on the internet. Actually I found one, but it can only be ordered in the U.K., and it would complicated to have to change American dollors to Euros. I actually do have the music on tape, but I will be needing it on cd. Any suggestions? Where can I get this music? Thank you... Quote Link to comment
Juliet Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Well, I know it's on the Decca set of 3 Tchaikovsky ballets, with the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge. The Decca number is 460 411-2, the IPC is 0-2894604112-3. It is selection #10 on CD #2. I am certain that others will have additional sources, but this is the recording I prefer for actual performance tempi. Best of luck-- Quote Link to comment

Guest ckdancegirl7 Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Oh...Juliet...can I find this cd on the internet or is it sold at a specific store? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Juliet Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Certainly!!! You can click on the Amazon.com link at the top right-hand of your screen..... search classical music, keywords Tchaikovsky and Bonynge. On the second page of listings, you'll see "Tchaikovsky: the 3 Ballets." http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...nce&s=classical It is a 6 CD set and worth every penny. Aside from getting a great set of music, you will help support BalletAlert through using the Amazon link here..... Quote Link to comment
Dolphingirl Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 That's an AMAZING price on a 6 CD set...I would definitely get it if I didn't already have all three ballets separately. It is the full ballet of each one, right? Quote Link to comment
Juliet Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yes, it's the complete ballet. And, you know, nowhere is it written that you can't have more than one recording of a work.... There is another wonderful Bonynge/Decca set with Sylvia and Coppelia..... Quote Link to comment
Guest ckdancegirl7 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Thanks everyone...that is a really good price, and a good way to support Ballet Alert! Quote Link to comment
