Shall we dance? These gorgeous ballets work equally well on stage and in concert (and of course on recordings), which is where you are most likely to find them. After all, great music is great music whatever it's for, and some composers did their very best work in writing for dancers. Here are ten:
Delibes: Coppélia
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet
Glazunov: The Seasons
Stravinsky: Petrushka
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé
Falla: The Three-Cornered Hat
Poulenc: Les Biches
Roussel: Bacchus et Ariane
Copland: Appalachian Spring
