"Ballet Brilliance"

"Ballet Brilliance" is available as an audio CD (reference SDM07CD).

With Ballet Brillance, we've tried to produce an all-purpose ballet compilation, useful for exercises (both barre and floor) as well as having pieces ideal for free work. It also includes an 11-minute suite of pieces which can be used to provide a story-line for a nursery-based show. The majority of the pieces on this compilation are piano-only, whilst the others range from a simple music-box to full orchestra.

Solo piano pieces on this compilation have been performed for us here by Fiona Laskaris. Click on underlined links to hear audio clips of them. This compilation has the following tracks:-
