tu2mama Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 My daughter is having trouble finding the music for the variation section after Ali dances in Le Corsaire. The videos are easy to find from several companies but finding a music CD has been difficult. Her teacher had a CD but the music for this variation wasn't anything like what we have heard on the videos of the ballet. The music for the male varation is easy to find. Sorry for my layman's description of the section of the ballet. Any suggestions on where to find this music? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Problem is, this used to be available from English Decca, but it's out of print now. Try Amazon for a used copy. Quote Link to comment
tu2mama Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Thanks. She decided to do something from La Bayadere,we have that music after an extended search last year. My son came very close to finding it on a free online music download(Mac only). I got my education on the origin and developement of this ballet and it's music and my son for once became involved so all wasn't a loss. Quote Link to comment
Ipointe Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get the CD for le Corsaire?? I have looked everywhere, and I can't find it?? Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted April 2, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 As far as I know, it's not available. The pas de deux is available on the Ballet Gala series, but the whole ballet is not, unless Christopher Seminars has it. Try http://www.christopherseminars.com Okay, I just checked, and they do have it. Quote Link to comment

team-green32 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have access to the whole CD, I will ask my friend where she got it. Quote Link to comment
balletbum74 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Does anyone know where I can either safely download or purchase the music from Le Corsaire? I'm looking for any CDs that are at a good tempo for dancing to. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 There is only one recording of this score, other than bootleg, that was available, that by Richard Bonynge, and that is not available now. Quote Link to comment
msd053 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 If you cannot find the complete ballet there are a few options. You can use the audio from one of the many DVD's available. I also know that some of the music is available on a CD "Essential Russian Ballet". I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
balletbum74 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Does it happen to have the 2nd Odalisque variation on it? Quote Link to comment
Swanilda Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Also, there is a recording of Paquita and Bayadere which has lots of solos on it (it had "my" Corsaire solo on it, maybe it has yours also). It's the Sofia Philharmonic recording, and the cover has Swan Lake on it. Also, if you go the DVD rounte, the ABT one should have what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment
