Description

This vinyl includes the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra's performance of the ballet "Giselle," a story of love, death, and loss. Act One commences with the Entrance of Albert, a nobleman who disguises himself as a peasant to win over the heart of the young and beautiful Giselle. However, Albert's deceit causes Giselle to die of heartbreak at the end of Act One. Act Two features Giselle's interaction with the Wilis, spirits of women betrayed by their lovers. Despite Albert's betrayal, Giselle saves him from the Wilis' vengeance, allowing her to rest in peace. The Overture through the Waltz and Dance of Giselle and Albert are on Side 1; the rest of Act One is on Side 2; Myrtha's entrance and Scene through the Entrance and Scene of Albert are on Side 3; the rest of Act Two is on Side 4.
