Description:
Léo Delibes (1836-1891) looked to a play of the Italian Renaissance, Torquato Tasso's AMINTA, for narrative material when composing his full-length ballet SYLVIA. Choreographed by Louis Mérante, with scenery by Jules Chéret, it premiered on June 14, 1876, at the new Opera Garnier in Paris. Commercially unsuccessful, it achieved a triumphant revival in 1952 and has since become one of the most-performed ballets in the repertoire. This suite produced in 1880 includes four of the movements from the complete ballet: 1. Prélude - Les Chasseresses; 2. Intermezzo et Valse lente; 3. Pizzicati; 4. Cortège de Bacchus. Instrumentation: 2(2nd d.Picc).2.2.2: 4.2+2Crnt.3.1: Timp.Perc (2-3): Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
