Delibes: La Source Alexis Renaud, Christophe Duquenne, Corps De Ballet Of The Paris Opera, Francois Roussillon, Isabell

Lost after its material records were destroyed by fire in 1883, the spectacular ballet La Source originally portrayed the idealistic vision of a magical domain in which a complex but beautiful love story of mythical figures unfolded. Jean-Guillaume Bart has long been captivated by La Source, and his new choreography retains the ballet’s romantic fascinations and its glorious music by Delibes and Minkus. (Naxos)
